The deciding moment arrived in a game that was tight and tactical from start to finish. Panama City FC showed patience in possession and eventually found a breakthrough with a clever attacking move that caught the home defence unprepared. Alianza FC Panama Reserves responded well and pushed hard for the equaliser, especially in the latter stages, but were unable to find a way through a resilient visiting backline.

A gritty away win

This was not a match packed with free-flowing chances, but Panama City FC will not care. Their discipline, organisation, and ability to take one of the few clear opportunities that came their way proved decisive. For the Alianza reserves, the performance was encouraging in terms of effort, but they lacked the cutting edge needed in the final third.

Match impact
