Historic! For the first time in its history, the legendary Deportivo Garcilaso will be part of professional football. The Cusco team, a classic rival of Cienciano, was crowned champion of the Peru Cup 2022 and secured the last direct spot that this tournament will give to the First Division. Thus, the 'Celestial Vendaval' will be part of Liga1 2023.
Although they earned the same number of points (7) as AD Comerciantes FC in the Finalísima, it was the goal difference that gave them first place and the opportunity to participate in the highest category of Peruvian football. The five goals they scored against Atlético Bruces in the third round of the quadrangular allowed them to achieve the most important achievement in their 65 years of history. The goals were scored by Jhonny Obeso, Luis Castillo, Raúl Tito (2), and Mauricio Malpartida. Gino Cossio scored for the opponent.
On the other hand, the team from Belén (Loreto) won 2-0 in the match against La Bocana, with goals from Junior Zambrano and Gino Cenepo, but it was only enough to secure second place and qualify for Liga2 2023.
