Manco started the game on the bench, but coach Mario 'Ropero' Flores called him and he entered at the 62nd minute to replace César Medina, when the match was 2-0 in favor of Ecosem Pasco. The experienced 33-year-old player had a great performance on the field, where he was tireless in delivering pinpoint passes to his teammates to create danger in the opponent's goal.

'Rei' participated in the penalty play for the third goal, he received a foul that ended in the fourth goal, and he had the luxury of giving a 'disdainful pass' to assist his teammate and score the fifth and final goal, with which they defeated VRAEM FC with an aggregate score of 5-3.

Manco and his quick adaptation to secure Ecosem's qualification
What has surprised the most is that Manco had just arrived in Cerro de Pasco three days before the crucial match, so he had only a few days to train and quickly adapt to the altitude of over 4000 meters above sea level in order to achieve the objective with his club.
Who will be Ecosem's opponent in the round of 16 of the Copa Perú?
Ecosem and Reimond Manco already know the opponent they will face in the next stage of the 'Fútbol Macho'. It is Nacional FBC de Arequipa, who won against EGB Tacna Heróica on penalties.
