From the first whistle, the visitors pressed high, disrupted Recoleta’s build-up play, and created the better chances. The final 3-0 scoreline was a fair reflection of their superiority.

First Half: 2 de Mayo Sets the Tone

The breakthrough came early, as 2 de Mayo opened the scoring in the 12th minute with a well-executed counter-attack. A long ball over the top caught the Recoleta defence out of position, and the visiting striker rounded the goalkeeper to finish into an empty net.

Just before the half-hour mark, the visitors doubled their lead from a corner kick.

Second Half: Clinical Finish Seals the Win

Recoleta attempted to press higher after the interval, but they remained vulnerable to quick transitions.

A composed finish from just inside the box made it 3-0 and effectively ended the contest as a competitive affair.

To their credit, Recoleta continued to work hard and had a few shots on target, but the 2 de Mayo goalkeeper was rarely troubled. The visitors managed the game professionally, slowing the pace and preserving their clean sheet until the final whistle.
