Sporting Cristal receives Universitario de Deportes for matchday 14 of the Clausura 2022 of the Liga 1 Betsson. The celeste team seeks a victory at the Estadio Nacional to confirm their favoritism towards winning the second tournament of the season in Peruvian football.
The team led by Roberto Mosquera comes into this match after defeating Ayacucho FC away. The match was played with great intensity and a clear example of this is a play starring Horacio Calcaterra and Jordan Guivin in the 29th minute of the second half.
In the midst of a ball dispute, Guivin and Calcaterra collided their heads, leaving both players on the ground. According to referee Kevin Ortega's assessment, the celeste midfielder was the cause of the collision and was therefore cautioned with a yellow card.
It should be noted that Cristal was closer to taking the victory through Alejandro Hohberg, who hit the goalpost of Universitario's goal twice.
