The blow on the date. UTC from Cajamarca reached five consecutive victories by defeating Cienciano from Cusco, who continues to decline after the home defeat against Sport Huancayo. Cesar Vigevani's team was winning 1-0 against the 'Gavilan del Norte', with a solitary goal from Danilo Carando, in their mission to finish in Copa Sudamericana spots, but Marcelo Grioni's team managed to turn the game around in the second half, to achieve a new victory.
At 16 minutes, after a free kick taken by Kevin Sandoval from the left side of the field, Carando won alone to score the first goal of the match. From then on, everything was better for the Cajamarca team in the 15th round of the championship.
At 48', after trying to shoot the ball at Patrick Zubczuk's goal, Nicolás Ortiz received the second yellow card and, therefore, the red card to leave his team with 10 players, and make the match more complicated for the home team. With more determination than play, UTC managed to turn the game around, with goals from Hideyoshi Arakaki, at 68 minutes of play, and Gaspar Gentile, at 79'.
Now, with 51 units, Cienciano has no respite in the accumulated table (seventh place), waiting for Binacional to stumble when facing Sport Huancayo, as well as Alianza Atlético not having a good day, when they have to host Atlético Grau in Sullana.
For the next match, Cienciano will receive Alianza Lima next Sunday (6 p.m.) at the Garcilaso de La Vega stadium, while UTC will visit Binacional in Juliaca.
