San-Pedro
SOA
A cagey affair at San-Pedro ended goalless as neither side could find the breakthrough in what proved to be a classic defensive battle. Both teams appeared content to cancel each other out in midfield, with clear-cut chances at a premium throughout the 90 minutes. The stalemate does little for either side's ambitions, with San-Pedro missing an opportunity to climb the table on home soil while SOA will feel they needed more attacking intent to capitalize on their away trip. The match was characterized by organized defensive blocks and a lack of cutting edge in the final third, reflecting two well-drilled sides who prioritized not losing over pushing for the win.
