What results does Municipal need to avoid relegation after deducting points from Boys?

The Licensing Committee decided to deduct four points from Sport Boys for violating two articles of the League 1 2023 regulations. In that vein, now Deportivo Municipal has new chances of staying in the top division of Peruvian football and that's why we'll tell you here what results need to occur on matchday 19 of the Clausura Tournament for the ediles to save their category.

And it's because after deducting points from the 'chalaco' team, the accumulated table has changed and the pink team is once again in danger of relegation to the Liga 2, something that has caused concern among the Callao fans, but excitement among the Franja's supporters.

To understand the situation, Sport Boys has 34 points, Unión Comercio 33, Deportivo Municipal 31, and Academia Cantolao 23. Considering that the last three teams in the standings are relegated, currently the edil team is losing its category.

What results does Municipal need to save themselves?

First of all, Deportivo Municipal must definitely defeat Academia Cantolao on matchday 19 of the Clausura Tournament. This is very likely, as the 'Delfín' is last in the accumulated table and is the team that has conceded the most goals in the entire League 1 2023.

Then, the edil team must hope that Unión Comercio loses or ties against Atlético Grau as a visitor, and in that case Municipal would move up in the standings. However, they also have to wait for one last result, otherwise they will only climb one position and continue to be in the relegation zone.

In order for Deportivo Municipal to secure their salvation, Sport Boys must lose against Cienciano at the Estadio Miguel Grau. The Callao team has a goal difference of -20, while the 'Academia' has -17, so the goal difference will not be a problem for the Franja.

How would the standings look with these results?

Let's assume that Municipal defeats Cantolao 1-0, Sort Boys loses 1-0, and that Unión Comercio ties; we will only show the last four positions. If you want to see the current complete standings, click HERE:
