Sport Huancayo and Real Garcilaso add more excitement to the final stretch of the Apertura
Sport Huancayo and Real Garcilaso brought more excitement to the final stretch of the Apertura. The 'Red Matador' and the Cusco team drew 1-1 in a key match in the fight for the title. This result benefited Alianza, Universitario, and Cristal.
Real Garcilaso had the opportunity to steal an important victory against Sport Huancayo. This was because the home team was left with ten men in the first half due to Carlos Preciado's expulsion. But the team led by Marcelo Grioni did not take advantage of it.
The goals came in the final part. First, Joazhiño Arroé made Real Garcilaso dream as he scored 1-0 at 80' and what seemed like the victory for the imperial team.
The joy lasted a short time and the blow came in injury time. Just when everyone thought Real Garcilaso was going to win, Julio Landauri appeared. The midfielder scored a fantastic goal that meant the draw.
Despite the draw, Real Garcilaso still has a chance to win the championship. This is because they have a pending match against Municipal. Additionally, in the next game, they will face Comerciantes Unidos. However, they also have to wait for the resolution of Carlos Neumann's case.
