It turns out, that in the Liga 1 rules there are 4 criteria to define the champion in case of an absolute tie between the clubs that finish first, in this case FBC Melgar and Sport Huancayo. Here we present you what they are and how unusual the last point is:
- 1) Greater goal difference
- 2) Greater number of goals in favor
- 3) Fair Play (point reduction for warnings)
- 4) Draw by the Liga
Surprisingly, point number 4 indicates that, if the parity persists until point 3, everything could be defined through a draw carried out by Liga 1 itself. In other words, the Dominó and the Rojo Matador could become champions due to chance.
However, the chances of this happening are low, since both clubs have a difference in both points and goals. Here's the explanation: FBC Melgar, managed by Néstor Lorenzo, has 40 points and a goal difference of 12, while Sport Huancayo, led by Carlos Desio, has 37 units with a significant distance of 16 goals.
With the previous premise, there are more sporting reasons why the Apertura tournament can be defined that keep all Peruvian football fans captivated.
