This is burning because the last place team, Defensor La Bocana, which is in intensive care, receives this afternoon from 3:30 p.m. the Real Garcilaso, which is also committed to relegation.
The match at the Sesquicentenario de Sechura stadium promises, because both teams will go out to give their all to escape relegation. Despite being a working day, a good number of attendees is expected at the venue. If the Cusqueños lose, they would seriously compromise their position, due to the tough matches that lie ahead for them. The referee for this match will be Renzo Castañeda.
The ninth matchday presented itself as definitive to define the teams qualified to fight for the national title. At the top, Universitario de Deportes and Sporting Cristal continue as leaders of the standings after their victories against Comerciantes Unidos and Universidad César Vallejo, respectively. Melgar and Deportivo Municipal don't lose sight and continue to battle for a spot in the grand final.
Meanwhile, Alianza Lima achieved an important victory against UTC in Cajamarca, allowing them to remain hopeful with four matches left until the end of the group stage. The blanquiazul team took the three points in their visit to 'Gavilán' in order to stay in the fight for the fourth place to qualify for the playoffs.
Universitario de Deportes, on the other hand, as the home team at the Segundo Aranda Torres in Huacho, defeated Comerciantes Unidos. The "cremas" continue to lead the Descentralizado tournament. Meanwhile, Sporting Cristal mercilessly thrashed César Vallejo at the Alberto Gallardo. The team led by Mariano Soso came from three consecutive defeats and finally achieved victory, equalizing in points with Universitario de Deportes.
Tomorrow, two matches will continue for the ninth matchday, where the participation of Melgar stands out. The team led by Juan Máximo Reynoso hosts Unión Comercio in Arequipa and in case of a victory, the "characato" team would be only one point away from both Universitario de Deportes and Sporting Cristal.
