The women's classic was blanquiazul. Alianza Lima defeated Universitario 2-1 in the last match of the 2022 Pluspetrol Women's League playoff, which was played at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium. Sandra Arévalo and Adriana Lúcar scored the winning goals. Nahomi Martínez scored for the visiting team.
The first half was even. Alianza Lima tried to take control, but Universitario had the clearest counter-attacking opportunity. Goalkeeper Del Carpio had a double save to prevent Universitario from scoring. The first 45 minutes were also very physical, with many fouls committed on both sides.
In the second half, the scoreboard changed. In the 65th minute, Nahomi Martínez took advantage of a defensive error to score the first goal for Universitario. Martínez received a ball from goalkeeper Del Carpio, dribbled past Neidy Romero, and finished with her right foot, beating Alianza Lima's goalkeeper.
With the score in their favor, Universitario started to defend. Alianza Lima, supported by the home crowd, began to dominate the game.
In the 85th minute, the reigning champions Alianza Lima took advantage of a free-kick on the right side of the attacking third to equalize 1-1, just five minutes before the final whistle. After a cross from Gladys Dorador into the heart of the 'crema' defense, Sandra Arévalo rose with great technique to head the ball and score the equalizer for Alianza Lima.
With this goal, the La Victoria team gained an important morale boost on the field, as they would go in search of the winning goal in the final minutes of the match. And so, in the 90+5th minute, Adriana Lúcar became the hero by scoring the final 2-1 goal.
