Still alive. Sport Huancayo is the last Peruvian representative in an international tournament and now they must overturn the defeat suffered against Caracas to advance to the third phase (round of 16) of the Copa Sudamericana.
Despite the defeat, the team led by Marcelo Grioni did not play a bad game. In fact, the story could have been different, but the post denied Jean Deza the equalizer after an amazing free-kick.

The 2-0 against (goals by Diomar Díaz in the 6th minute of the first half and Ricardo Martins with 7 minutes remaining and a penalty kick) doesn't look so negative for the Peruvian team, considering that now they will play as the home team in the altitude of Huancayo.
They must score more than two goals and it is very important for Sport Huancayo not to concede any in the second leg, otherwise everything would be practically lost. The task is feasible. In the 'Incontrastable', they must impose their game, their pace, and also the 3,259 meters above sea level.

What happens if Caracas scores a goal? If that happens, Sport Huancayo would have to score at least 4 to advance. If they win 3-1, the Venezuelan team holds on to their away goal and advances.
