Tactical Analysis
Lalin lined up in a 4-4-2, hoping to use width to stretch Silva SD's defence. However, Silva SD's 4-2-3-1 formation proved more effective, with their midfield duo dominating the centre and launching quick transitions. Silva's wingers frequently cut inside, causing confusion in Lalin's backline. Defensively, Silva SD sat deep when needed and dealt with Lalin's crosses comfortably.
