Santa Fe reached the decisive stage with the match level, and the shootout turned a draw into a defeat for River Plate. The match score remained 1-1; the 8-9 penalty tally supplied the separation. In the final result, that one-goal margin from the spot made all the difference.
That is the clearest summary of the contest: neither side held an advantage on the match score, but Santa Fe left with the win after the penalty contest. The scoreline needs both figures to tell the story - 1-1 in the match and 8-9 from the spot. It was a close finish, settled by the shootout rather than a change to the match score.
Those final stats frame the highlights too. Santa Fe took the outcome after a level match score, while River Plate's total fell one short in the shootout. The result was decided from the spot, not by separation in the 1-1 match score.
