The second half has had repeated attacks from Sporting Cristal, who is seeking to extend their lead in the match against Sport Huancayo, so they have Joao Grimaldo on the left wing as one of the most dangerous players. On the other side is Washington Corozo, who has not had the best performance in the match. On this occasion, he tried to make an individual play, but it didn't go as expected.
The Ecuadorian footballer faced Jimmy Valoyes and tried to pass to infiltrate the area; however, he failed in the attempt and the ball was left free for the Sport Huancayo defender to take possession. The fans did not take it well in the stands.
With a goal from Joao Grimaldo in the first half, the match remains with a score of 1-0 at the Alberto Gallardo stadium. Yoshimar Yotún assisted the skillful forward who surpassed Rodrigo Colombo to enter the area. The blue team depends on other results to continue fighting for the Clausura Tournament.
