Sport Boys breathed a sigh of relief minutes after the final whistle that confirmed their away defeat against Sport Huancayo, as they secured their stay in the top category of Peruvian football due to the results of their direct rivals in other fields.
However, their salvation would be at great risk and could take a 360-degree turn in the following days, as there is a possibility that the chalaco team loses four points in the Cumulative Table of Liga 1, which would force them to fight until the last match to stay in the First Division for another season.
This was announced by the journalist from Líbero, Diego Sotomayor, through his social media. "Sport Boys wants to deduct 4 points in the final stretch of the championship, but the cases of 'double contracts' in Binacional and Unión Comercio should also be reviewed. Let it not go unnoticed," he reported.

What position would Sport Boys drop to if they lose four points?
If the deduction of points happens, Sport Boys would drop to 16th place with 34 points, one above Unión Comercio and one below Binacional, the other teams fighting to avoid relegation. With this scenario, the drama for survival would be decided next week.
