After a very fought first half, the emotions arrived in the second half. In the 68th minute of the game, Erinson Ramírez scored the 1-0 for UTC over Sport Boys, for the 16th match of the 2023 Clausura Tournament. The Peruvian forward defeated goalkeeper Alvaro Villete from the penalty spot. As expected, he celebrated it very excitedly and the fans started chanting louder at the Héroes de San Ramón stadium.
The striker of the Cajamarca team, who had scored in the match against Municipal two game weeks ago, opened the scoring with a powerful shot with his right leg. The pink goalkeeper stretched, but couldn't reach the ball. Undoubtedly, an almost unsaveable penalty for any goalie.
UTC started to dominate the actions, but the 'Misilera', who is fighting to stay in the Liga 1 Betsson, went all out in search of the equalizer and achieved it. In injury time, with the support of the VAR, Palomino once again converted a penalty, but this time in favor of the visitors.
With all the pressure on him, 21-year-old Fabrizio Roca didn't shrink from the responsibility and fooled Patrick Zubczuk to score the definitive 1-1 (90+1'). An important draw for Sport Boys. However, with this result, Deportivo Municipal and Academia Cantolao were relegated to Liga 2.
