They are having a bad time.
Sporting Cristal is not doing well in the second semifinal against Melgar and has already lost two of its starters. Minutes after Joao Grimaldo's injury, Yoshimar Yotún, the experienced midfielder of the Peruvian national team, also had to leave the field. He had a clash with Paolo Reyna, asked for a substitution, and could not hold back the tears when leaving the field.
Given what happened, coach Roberto Mosquera decided to send Uruguayan Leandro Sosa to the field shortly before the end of the first half. It is worth noting that the team needs to score 3 goals to reach the Liga 1 final.
