The Unión Huaral team was winning 1-0 at the 8th minute with a goal from Piero Magallanes. However, strangely enough, the game started to change in the second half.
Brian Bernaola, around the 47th minute, strangely tried to clear the ball in his own area but ended up scoring an own goal. Then, at the 69th minute, Ramón Rengifo hugged Kevin Sánchez in the penalty area and the referee had no doubts in awarding the clear penalty. The same player converted it into a goal.

On social media, there is talk of match-fixing. The truth is that Unión Huaral is going through economic problems, owing their players more than a month's salary. Several players have left, such as their Colombian top scorer, Carlos López, who has signed for Alianza Universidad.

When is Unión Huaral's next match?
While the investigations continue, Unión Huaral will return to the field on Sunday, July 10th, when they host Chankas CYC for the second round of the Clausura Tournament in Liga 2.
The match will take place at Julio Lores Colán Stadium starting at 15:30 hours, and Unión Huaral will seek to recover from the surprising defeat against Deportivo Llacuabamba and climb in the league standings of Liga 2.
