One of the players who had minutes in the Sporting Cristal vs César Vallejo game was Brenner Marlos. The Brazilian forward failed to score in Trujillo, but was part of this important victory that allows the 'rimenses' to be leaders of the Clausura Tournament.
In an interview with Liga 1 MAX Radio, Brenner expressed his happiness for the victory against the 'poetas', as it was a difficult venue and they came to play their game after the good streak they had in the last couple of matches.
"It was a very difficult but crucial match for us. We knew the difficulty we had against Vallejo and it is an important victory for us. We have to keep winning like this to reach our goal," said Brenner Marlos.

"After being eliminated from international tournaments, we have to become champions, no matter what, because of the greatness of Cristal. In these 5 remaining matches we will go all out," said the Celestes' top scorer.
Similarly, the number 9 of the Tiago Nunes side is focused on the match against UTC, in which only three points are valid to maintain the advantage over the other rivals and be absolute leaders of the Clausura.
"We have to take it one game at a time. Now we have another match against UTC and we must focus on getting the 3 points. Everything is very close and we cannot let the other teams get closer to us," he added.
