The match between Sporting Cristal and Cantolao recorded a controversial situation. Referee Jesús Cartagena retracted his decision to expel Jorge Cazulo. The player himself spoke at the end of the match to give his version.
"The first thing I say to the referee is that it was not a clear goal-scoring opportunity. It's within the rules. We must congratulate the linesman. We need to know the rules," said the Uruguayan in Gol Perú.

'Piqui' held back Cantolao forward Jefferson Collazos with his arms to stop his progress on the left side of the field. If he had continued, he would have been one-on-one with goalkeeper Mauricio Viana.
Jorge Cazulo stated that both he and his teammates are perfectly familiar with the rules. He explained that the team received lectures last season. "We have it very clear," emphasized the versatile player.
'Piqui' is eligible to play against Universitario de Deportes in the next fixture of the Apertura tournament. Striker Ray Sandoval was not as lucky.
