Briones shines and Reascos scores a brace in Independiente del Valle's win

Early dominance and a stellar Briones

The final score of 3-1 does not reflect the intensity of the first half, where Independiente del Valle netted three goals in just 15 minutes. Ronald Briones, with an outstanding performance (rating 9.61), was the architect of the victory, assisting Djorkaeff Reascos twice and scoring one of the goals.

Reascos, who scored a brace, opened the scoring in the 8' and 10', while Briones capped off the first half with a goal in the 15'. Macara, arriving at this clash as second in the table, was quickly overwhelmed by the intensity of an Independiente that showed no mercy.

A second half lacking clarity

In the second half, the pace of the match changed. Macara, with an own goal from Andy Velasco in the 75', managed to pull one back, but it was not enough to alter the course of the match. Possession was slightly in favor of the visitors (51%), but they failed to capitalize in the attacking third, finishing with 15 shots, only 7 of which were on target.

The overall dominance of the match belonged to Independiente del Valle, who stood firm in defense and took advantage of their opportunities, while Macara could not convert their higher number of shots. This victory not only reaffirms Independiente's position at the top of the table but also highlights the importance of Briones and Reascos in the team's scheme.
