Sporting Cristal added three golden points against Cienciano in matchday 11 of the Liga 1. Irven Ávila was the key player for the sky blues when he entered the second half of the match, where his first contact with the ball resulted in a goal against the Cusco team.
YOU CAN SEE: Cristal defeated Cienciano in Cusco and got motivated for their match against Talleres de Córdoba.
This goal was celebrated by all the sky blue fans, who are once again in the fight for the Torneo Apertura with eight matches left to close this first chapter of the Liga 1. Sporting Cristal once again counted on the goal scoring streak of Irven Ávila, who is curiously one step away from entering the club's Top 5 all-time leading goal scorers.
After this goal by Irven Ávila, the popular "Cholito" reached a total of 113 goals with Sporting Cristal's jersey. In this way, he is now five goals away from entering the Top 5 all-time leading goal scorers of the club, leaving out the well-known Flavio Maestri.
The former striker of Sporting Cristal scored a total of 117 goals throughout his tenure with the sky blues. Flavio Maestri brought many joys to the 'cervecero' team, but then the relationship with the fans broke after his move to Alianza Lima.
Now, Irven Ávila has the opportunity to continue making history with Sporting Cristal, knowing that there is a long way to go between the Liga 1 and the Copa Libertadores. If before the "Cholito" was excited about his 100th goal with the sky blues, now he hopes to maintain his good level to continue providing goals and vital victories for the team from the Rímac neighborhood.
