On the verge of tears, Danilo Carando dedicated the victory to his family in the stands. "They always support me (understand me), the victory goes to them and those who are always with us until the end as it happened today."

The imperials were comfortably winning by two goals difference. El Papá seemed to have an easy win but...
Castellanos, who was coaching the opponents, made corrections with the entrance of Hideyoshi Arakaki who scored the reduction goal and when there were six minutes left, a well executed penalty by the Colombian Millán equalized the actions. The ghosts of not holding on to a favorable result returned to the imperial team.
Five minutes of added time were being played when Ayrthon Quintana sent a pinpoint pass to the Cajamarca area for the head of Danilo Carando who hit the back of Salomón Libman's net. The "Toro" came in to save Cienciano and put Cusco's team back in the race.
The imperials added 25 points temporarily, putting them three points behind the leader FBC Melgar. Next week they will visit Matute to face Alianza Lima. Meanwhile, the Cajamarca team remained with 14 points and will host Deportivo Binacional.
