While UTC took the lead against Sporting Cristal, for matchday 15 of the Clausura Tournament 2023 of the Liga 1 Betsson, the Tiago Nunes squad never gave up and tried until the end to equalize the score. Thus, the long-awaited goal came through Alejandro Hohberg, who only took three minutes on the field to score the first goal for the 'rimense' team at the National Stadium.
The action took place at the 81st minute of the match. Joao Grimaldo, on the right-hand side, tried to make his way into the opponent's area, but without success against the mark of the 'Gavilan'. However, he chose to play with Jhimar Lora, who was free and in a position to cross towards the visiting team's field.
Immediately, the right-back looked up and sent the ball towards the heart of UTC's area. Here was Alejandro Hohberg, who took advantage of a poor clearance attempt by the visiting team to score the equalizer with a powerful header at the National Stadium.
Sporting Cristal vs. UTC: what's next
After the match against UTC, Sporting Cristal must focus on their next challenge in the Clausura Tournament 2023 of the Liga 1 Betsson. Their opponent will be none other than Cusco FC, a team they will visit on Friday, September 29th, at 6:00 p.m. (Peruvian time), at the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega Stadium.
It should be noted that the celeste team is among the top positions in the table of the second tournament of the year, so they must earn all possible points if they don't want to let go of the fight for the national title, being aware that Universitario, Melgar, and Alianza Lima are their main rivals.
