Sporting Cristal beat Carlos A. Mannucci in Trujillo and recovered the good feelings after the overwhelming 6-1 defeat against Always Ready in the first leg of phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores 2024. In addition, the ‘brewer’ benefited from the draw for the ‘merengues’ and is the leader of the Apertura for having a better goal difference. The ‘Carlists’ are bottom after four falls and a draw in the championship, and the continuity of coach Franco Navarro is in doubt due to the negative results.

Universitario tied with UTC in Cajamarca and gave up its status as absolute leader of the Apertura. With the tie the ‘merengues’ equaled the ‘rojo matador’ in score, but with a lower goal difference, and ended a streak of four consecutive victories, although they remain undefeated so far in the championship. Meanwhile, the ‘northern hawk’ accumulated its second consecutive game without winning.
