Summary of the Peru Primera Division Results in Matchday 10 Held on March 31 to April 2, 2023
Deportivo Municipal 1-1 Sporting Cristal (Mar 31)
The first match of matchday 10 of the Peruvian Liga 1 was between Deportivo Municipal vs Sporting Cristal, which ended in a draw. Despite the fact that the visitors started the match with a goal by Leandro Sosa in the 12th minute, the first half ended in tragedy for the team, as Jesús Castillo was sent off with a red card in the 45+1 minute, leaving the team with one player less on the field.
Taking advantage of the situation, Deportivo Municipal scored the final result just before the end of the first half in the 45+3 minute with a goal by Christopher Olivares. Although the match ended in a tie, the home team had a passing accuracy of 77% and a possession of 58%, showing that it played better, although it didn’t have much luck in front of the opposition’s goal.
ADT 2-0 Cesar Vallejo (Mar 31)
The second game of the day was ADT vs Cesar Vallejo. This match was a complete success for the home team, which took the lead thanks to Carlos Cabello, an opposing team player, who scored an own goal in the tenth minute. This lowered the morale of the visiting team, and it didn’t have many goal opportunities, with only six shots on target throughout the match.
The second goal came at minute 17, scored by Willyan Mimbela, and that marked the final result of the match (2-0). ADT managed to take 15 shots on target, and had a passing accuracy rate of 79%. However, Cesar Vallejo had a rate of 82%, although it just lacked opportunities to increase its chances of scoring.
Deportivo Garcilaso 0-0 Universitario (Mar 31)
The match between Deportivo Garcilaso vs Universitario was rather unlucky for the home team, which is facing evident difficulties in scoring. Despite making 4 shots on goal, the team couldn’t convert a single one, making Universitario’s goalkeeper, José Carvallo, one of the best players of the game.
Furthermore, in the 50th minute, the visitors suffered the loss of Nelson Cabanillas, who was shown a red card for a foul in a play that could have been a scoring opportunity for Deportivo Garcilaso. Nevertheless, the draw helped both teams maintain their positions in the third and fourth spots of the league standings.
Melgar 1-1 Cusco (Apr 1)
Moving on to the results of the Peru Primera Division, we witnessed a tightly contested match between Melgar vs Cusco that ended in a draw. The game kicked off with a goal from Luis Iberico for Melgar in the 23rd minute. However, at the start of the second half, in the 49th minute, Felipe Rodriguez scored the equalizer for Cusco.
Nonetheless, Cusco’s positive outlook did not last till the end of the game due to a foul committed by Gerson Barreto in the 86th minute, which resulted in a direct red card. Overall, Cusco had more chances to score, but its efficiency was not enough to secure the 3 points of the day.
Alianza Lima 2-0 Cienciano (Apr 1)
The top dog of the Peruvian Liga 1 once again asserted its dominance with their sixth win of the season against Cienciano. Franco Zanelatto Téllez, its star player, scored both goals in the 46th and 51st minutes, allowing the team to collect 3 points and bring its total to 18.
The rest of the game saw few goal-scoring opportunities, with Cienciano having 4 shots, but failing to convert despite having an impressive 81% pass accuracy and 53% possession. In consequence, its frustration earned the team 3 yellow cards and zero points.
Union Comercio 3-3 Alianza Atletico (Apr 2)
The match between Union Comercio vs Alianza Atletico was perhaps the highlight of matchday 10 of the Peruvian Liga 1. With a total of 6 goals, both teams put on a great show, and although neither managed to secure the victory, there was plenty of action. The scoring opened in the 1st minute in favor of Alianza Atletico, thanks to Jeremy Canela, who scored again in the 3rd minute.
Later on, in the 6th and 8th minutes, Félix Uculmana and Kelvin Sánchez leveled the score. The rest of the first half saw a third goal for Union Comercio in the 27th minute, thanks to Andy Reátegui, and ended calmly. In the second half, Róger Torres scored a penalty, which was the last goal of the match.
Carlos Mannucci 0-0 Sport Huancayo (Apr 2)
On the other hand, we witnessed a third draw between Carlos Mannucci vs Sport Huancayo, with few shots on goal (2 and 3, respectively) and even fewer fouls (12 and 11). Carlos Mannucci had 6% less possession than Sport Huancayo, and a 79% pass accuracy, while Sport Huancayo achieved 80%.
Therefore, Carlos Mannucci remained in sixth place on the Peruvian Liga 1 standings with 4 wins and 2 draws, while Sport Huancayo followed closely in eighth place with 4 victories and 1 draw. They are only one point apart, and it’s evident that the result was due to the similar level of both teams.
Atletico Grau 3-0 Sport Boys (Apr 2)
The match between Atletico Grau vs Sport Boys was quite unfavorable for the visitors, who not only lost a player in the 29th minute (Federico Milo due to a foul and direct red card), but also conceded 3 goals against by Neri Bandiera (22′), Ray Sandoval (40′), and Manuel Tejada (81′).
Sport Boys has had a pretty bad start to the season with two wins and one draw in eight matchdays, while Atletico Grau has achieved three wins and two draws. The main difference between these teams is that the home team has scored 14 times, while the visitors have only scored 5.
Binacional 1-1 UTC (Apr 2)
Finally, Binacional faced UTC in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw. Although there were several chances to score –7 for Binacional; 4 for UTC– each team only managed to score once. The score was opened at minute 41 by Juan Randazzo from UTC, only to be tied at minute 63 by a penalty kick from Andy Polar.
As a result, Binacional continues with its winless streak in the season, with two draws, and UTC is now just one point behind Union Comercio.
