For the first date of the 2023 Reserves Tournament Playoffs
Sporting Cristal defeated ADT 2-1 with a last-minute goal at La Florida. In this way, the team led by Jorge Cazulo started this final stretch of the championship on the right foot.
However, another important event that took place in this match was the debut of the offensive midfielder, Jhonnier Montaño, with the blue and white shield. The son of the remembered former player Johnnier Montaño entered the field at 63 minutes of the second half.
With the 18-year-old Colombian-Peruvian player, Sporting Cristal improved in the last meters of the field and Montaño became the king of set pieces.
So much so that at 64 minutes he was about to score a great goal from a free kick, after hitting it hard with his left foot from outside the box, surprising ADT's goalkeeper who was forced to send the ball to the corner.
