Melgar celebrated a goal again after four months. Yes, the 'dominó' team was able to score against Cusco FC through their forward, Luis Iberico, in the match valid for Matchday 10 of the Apertura of the Liga 1.
The team now led by the Argentine, Mariano Soso, was able to open the scoring at 26' in the first half. A good cross into the area by Bordacahar allowed Luis Iberico to rise above two Cusco FC defenders and score a header past goalkeeper Daniel Ferreyra.
Melgar had not celebrated a goal since November 9, 2022, when they beat Alianza Lima in the first leg of the national title. Yordi Vílchez scored an own goal.
The Melgar team has not achieved any victories in this 2023. They have had six matches without a win, with two draws and four defeats, placing themselves at the bottom of the Liga 1.
