The team led by Erick Torres comes from a big win against Racing. This allowed them to get closer to the coveted spot in the Primera that the Copa Peru offers. But not everything is happiness, because the promotion will not be enough if Sport Rosario also wins. Why? Because of the better position of the huaracinos in the general table of the Primera Etapa.
That's why, if the cajamarquinos fulfill the task of winning, they will have to wait for the final match and root for Sport Rosario not to win. Difficult, but not impossible: in Hualgayoc, more than one fan has already lit the candles.
"We are a team that has been showing good football and determination. We are organized and that helps us to stay alive in the Copa. We have one match left and we have to face it seriously. Just because Binacional is eliminated, we won't get overconfident," said Hualgayoc's coach, Erick Torres.
Attention, the Deportivo Hualgayoc vs. Binacional match will be the first match of the double header. That is to say, everything will be decided in the final duel. More than one fan will have their heart in their hands.
