Union Comercio

Union Comercio drew 2-2 with Cantolao in matchday 14 of the Clausura at the IPD Stadium in Nueva Moyobamba. Just when it seemed like Callao was celebrating that the 'Delfin' was avoiding relegation, Christian Bogado scored a double, stealing the smile from the Chalaco team.

This match was crucial for both teams.

In summary: the winner would stay in the first division. It was all or nothing. That's why Carlos Silvestri's players remained calm with the two goals from Jose Manzaneda and Leandro Martin.

But no, two almost consecutive fouls cost dearly for the 'Delfin' and the referee did not forgive and punished with the maximum penalty. Striker Christian Bogado was the executor of both goals and today he added 20 goals to his record with the Mighty.

"Because of the anxiety we had to win, we went out to attack and they scored two goals against us. The important thing is that we showed our fight and attitude, and we drew. I don't know if the referee influenced. Let's hope that Alianza Sullana loses tomorrow to save ourselves once and for all," said the 'Torito'.

Now we just have to wait, although the danger continues. Cantolao and Union Comercio remain with 44 points, in 13th and 14th places respectively in the standings. In the last matchday, the Chalacos will face Universitario, who are still in the fight for the Clausura, while Union Comercio will visit Sporting Cristal at the Alberto Gallardo Stadium in Lima.

Confirmed line-ups:

Union Comercio: Angel Zamudio, Nelinho Quina, Cesar Mena, Jair Yglesias, Mario Velarde, Edy Renteria, Alexander Sanchez, Angel Ojeda, Jaime Vasquez, Cristhian Bogado, Reimond Manco.
Cantolao: Federico Nicosia, Ederson Mogollon, Victor Salas, Giancarlo Carmona, Gerson Barreto, Leonel Valencia, Paulo Albarracin, Leandro Martin, Diego Ramirez, Jose Manzaneda, Jeferson Collazos.

Preview

The Chalaco team broke their bad streak after defeating UTC in Cajamarca. With 43 points, the Chalacos are currently in 13th place and they know that this is the moment to get three points against the 'Poderoso', who have the same points in the standings but with a higher goal difference.

But the situation is difficult for the 'Delfin'. The 'Poderoso' has had two victories and a draw that have given them hope of staying in the league. They held Sport Rosario to a draw away from home and defended well. They earned a great point, which is welcomed with open arms given their tense situation.

Time to pray. There are only two matchdays left for the Clausura and both teams are hoping for some divine help. Two wishes: for Sport Huancayo to defeat Ayacucho and for Sport Rosario to do a good job against Alianza Sullana. Let's just wait.

The last two times they faced each other, Union Comercio couldn't beat Cantolao and lost 2-0 in both games. Now, without a doubt, the Moyobambino team will seek their revenge.

Possible line-ups:

Union Comercio: Angel Zamudio, Jaime Vasquez, Cesar Mena, Jorge Yglesias, Nelinho Quina, Reimond Manco, Jean Fuentes, Angel Ojeda, Edy Renteria Mena, Mario Velarde, Christian Bogado.
Cantolao: Federico Nicosia, Carlos Cabello, Ederson Mogollon, Jimmy Baluarte, Willy Pretel, Jesus Castillo, Kevyn Paico, Paulo Albarracin, Jose Manzaneda, Breno Naranjo, Fabian Gonzalez.
