Alianza did their thing, held on, and at the right moment, killed. The allies took advantage of the extra man and the opportunities to take the three points from Cusco that invites them to dream of the Clausura.
Cienciano hasn't won in five matches and puts their qualification for the Sudamericana at risk.
In the first half, emotions were saved for the last minutes, as both teams weren't accurate enough to open the score. With Alianza conserving energy and Cienciano lacking ideas, they went to the locker rooms.
Two minutes into the second half, Kevin Sandoval hit the left post of Campos, it was the first clear goal opportunity of the match.
Then, at 8 minutes, Ayrthon Quintana left Papa with 10 players for a foul against Aldair Rodríguez, in which referee Augusto Menéndez was strict in his sanction.
With one player less, Cienciano dominated the actions. 'Chicho' Salas made changes and brought in Hernán Barcos for a nearly unnoticed Arley Rodríguez.
It is the 'Pirate' who fought for the ball into the opponent's area, his shot was blocked by Zubczuk, but he persisted and was left with Jairo Concha, who scored at will. The clock marked the 25th minute of the second half.
With the goal and one man more, the allies gained confidence. In that sense, Argentine Peruzzi, four minutes later, scored his first goal for Alianza.
The team from La Victoria achieved a historic result at the Garcilaso, as they hadn't beaten Cienciano since the 2011 championship.
Cienciano remains with 51 points in the accumulated standings and, due to goal difference, holds onto eighth place.
In the next match, Papa will visit Academia Cantolao.
The blanquiazules settle in second place in the Clausura and don't lose hope of winning the tournament. In the next match, they will host Binacional.
