The disparity in team depth and ball possession (Q.P.R's average of 61%) highlighted their clear superiority in controlling the match's tempo, whereas Cardiff City depended on low-conversion opportunities and lacked defensive cohesion, creating significant gaps for opponents. Although Q.P.R did not display an overwhelming attacking style, their ability to maintain dominance and generate chances from long balls remained a decisive strength, while Cardiff City lacked the flexibility to respond to pressure from the opposing midfield.

Queretaro FCQueretaro FCRayados de MonterreyRayados de MonterreyQueretaro FC and Rayados de Monterrey both possess sharp attacking styles, with Queretaro relying on the individual brilliance of Ali Ávila and Santiago Homenchenko in a 4-2-3-1 formation, while Rayados de Monterrey control the game through the duo of Lucas Ocampos and Diego Rossi, but lack defensive flexibility.
