Macará 1:0 LDU — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Mateo Viera’s first-half strike proved the difference as Macará beat LDU 1-0 in Serie A, the midfielder’s goal settling a tense contest and sending his side into a meeting with Técnico Universitario on 11 July. LDU dominated the ball and created more chances overall, but Macará’s resolute defence and early incision proved decisive.

The match turned in the 20th minute when Martín Tello slipped a pass through for Mateo Viera, who finished calmly to put Macará ahead. LDU responded by taking control of possession and pushing forward, but they could not breach the home side’s back line, and the score remained 1-0 at the break. The second half saw the visitors pile on further pressure—they had 67% possession and six shots to Macará’s one—yet the equaliser never came.

On the numbers, LDU held 60% possession and fired ten shots to Macará’s eight, yet the winning side was more clinical with their sole shot on target. Mateo Viera earned a 7.6 rating and his goal from midfield made him the clear standout. CheckLive’s model strongly favoured LDU, but the result did not confirm that prediction, and Macará’s efficiency overturned the expected outcome.
