Independiente del Valle beat Delfín 3-2 in Serie A. They led 2-0 before Delfín hit back, and Carlos Gonzalez's 45th-minute goal proved the difference.
Hugo Quintana opened the scoring after 14 minutes with Ronald Briones supplying the assist, and Ayrton Cisneros made it 2-0 on 23. Franco Ayunta pulled one back for Delfín at 45, but Carlos Gonzalez restored the two-goal lead in the same minute. Jefferson Arce's 67th-minute strike set up a tense finish, and four yellow cards followed as Delfín looked for an equaliser.
Independiente del Valle's control was stark in the numbers: 71% possession, 26 shots to Delfín's 7 and 554 accurate passes to 183. They put ten shots on target, with Delfín's goalkeeper making eight saves, while Delfín scored from both of their two shots on target. That efficiency made for a far closer scoreline than the balance of play.
