The new matchday of the 2022 Clausura Tournament in the League 1 started last Friday with Melgar vs. UTC at the Estadio Monumental de la UNSA. El Dominó returned to action with a minimum victory thanks to Luis Iberico's goal, a victory that allows them to recover the first place in the accumulated standings.
On Saturday, the action continued with two more matches. Ayacucho FC, the absolute bottom of the championship, lost 1-0 at home against Cienciano and sinks in the annual table. Meanwhile, Universitario was at home against Deportivo Municipal but couldn't avoid the 1-0 defeat with a goal from Roberto Ovelar.
On Sunday, five matches were played and the most important of them was the 'clásico moderno' between Sporting Cristal vs. Alianza Lima, which ended in a 0-0 draw. The rimenses had the clearest chances but found an enormous Franco Saravia who denied them a goal on multiple occasions.
YOU CAN SEE: Juan Reynoso would have an agreement with the FPF to be the new coach of the Peruvian national team.
Finally, the matchday ended on Monday, August 1 with Sport Boys vs. César Vallejo. The poets started losing in the first half but managed to come back in the second half and added three points that catapult them to the second place in the standings.
