With Alianza Lima's comfortable victory in Matute, Sporting Cristal had scarce options to win the Clausura Tournament. However, the team led by Roberto Mosquera fulfilled their duties and brought more joy to their fans. Therefore, Diego Buonanotte and Alejandro Hohberg scored the 3-0 and 4-0 goals, respectively, in the end.
The 'cerveceros', who were superior throughout the contest, appeared in the opponent's box. Thus, Irven Ávila led the ball and passed it to the side with the former Universidad Católica player, who took charge of making an individual move to extend the lead at the Alberto Gallardo stadium.
Buonanotte controlled the ball, made a cut, and faced defender Mathias Llontop. The Cristal forward did not hesitate to take a powerful shot, despite the presence of the opponent a few meters away. The strength of the shot prevented goalkeeper Steven Rivadeneyra from blocking the third goal of the match.

After that, the 'celestes' went for more and there was a foul in the opponents' box. Therefore, the referee called the penalty for the home team. Alejandro Hohberg, one of the experts in this type of action, took a breath to cross the ball and convert the goal for the rimenses in their own field.
With the 4-0 on the scoreboard, Sporting Cristal secured first place in the overall standings and, therefore, a spot in the semifinals of the competition. Mosquera's team will face Melgar in Arequipa on Wednesday 2 in the first leg, and on Sunday 6 in Lima in the second leg, to determine Alianza Lima's opponent for the 2022 title.
