San Martín 3-1 Juan Aurich
This time there was a miracle, but it was not for Juan Aurich. The 'Ciclón' was defeated 3-1 by San Martín in Callao, and suffered their first defeat in the Torneo Calusura.
San Martin became a devil, and brought down Juan Aurich with a hat-trick by Maximiliano Velasco. The first goal by the Argentinian came after a pass from Mauro Fernández. He pushed it with his right foot (7').
The second goal for San Martin was a great one. At 27', he received a pass in the middle of the field and made a back-heeled pass to Federico Freire, who spooned the ball back to Velasco, who pushed it into the goal of Juan Aurich.
When Juan Aurich was trying harder, the third goal for San Martín came. Once again, Velasco scored after a pass in the area with his right foot. The consolation goal for the 'Ciclón' came one minute before the end of the match.
Jersson Vásquez entered hard against Junior Ross inside the box. Luis Tejada shot the penalty. With this result, Juan Aurich leaves Sporting Cristal alone in first place. Meanwhile, Cristian Díaz's team returned to victory after two matches, adding ten points and getting into the fight.

The Preview
(Updating...) The only team that can keep up with Cristal's overwhelming start is Juan Aurich. The 'Ciclón' also won their first three matches and tonight they will go in search of the 'fourth in a row', when they visit San Martín in Callao.
And with Sporting Cristal's victory, Juan Aurich feel obliged to not lose ground. Although they will have to deal with four absences due to injury: Yordi Vílchez, Óscar Vílchez, Gianmarco Gambetta, and Benjamín Ubierna.
However, the debut of Panamanian Ricardo Buitrago would be the novelty, as he is expected to get some minutes tonight. His first time would be a dream come true.
Meanwhile, San Martín will come with a thirst for revenge as the defeat against César Vallejo was a hard blow. Despite everything, they haven't lost at home in five matches, and they also want to get within two points of the leader. It will be a match that sells itself.
