Tactical Battle

Club Lions Tomina set up in a compact 5‑3‑2, aiming to frustrate and hit on the break. Atletico Sucre, playing a possession‑oriented 4‑3‑3, had 67% possession but struggled to find gaps.

Sucre’s patience nearly paid off in the second half, but a combination of poor finishing and determined defending kept the scoreline blank. Lions Tomina’s counter‑attacks lacked the final pass, but their defensive organisation earned a deserved clean sheet.
