Sporting Cristal drew 4-4 with Deportivo Garcilaso as visitors and at first glance it would seem like a valuable point for the 'celestes'; however, at one point the team led by Tiago Nunes was comfortably winning but let the opposition equalize in stoppage time, which annoyed Alejandro Hohberg.

The 'celeste' midfielder scored a hat-trick and it seemed like Cristal had everything under control, but in the final minutes they conceded two goals and lost three very important points on a very challenging pitch, which left Hohberg uncomfortable after the match.
"I'm very upset. I truly believe we made a great effort to win, we played well. Moreover, we came with many young players and I can only congratulate them because they showed a lot of character. Those of us who played today came to represent the whole squad and I think we did well, but we are left with a bitter taste of not being able to win," expressed Alejandro Hohberg.
Furthermore, the footballer referred to the three goals he scored against the team from Cusco, expressing his joy for the achievement but anguish for the result. "As a forward, it's important to score goals, to take advantage of the minutes I play, but unfortunately they didn't serve to win," he added.
