Match report
Atlético Grau and Sport Boys played out a tense quarter-final in the Cup of League, finishing 2-2 after extra time before Atlético Grau won 5-4 in the penalty shootout. The match took place at 20:00 on 26 August 2026 and extended well beyond the ninety minutes, with the shootout going to five rounds before Sport Boys missed their final attempt.
I. Tapia opened the scoring for Atlético Grau in the thirty-fifth minute, and the hosts led at the break. Sport Boys responded quickly after the restart, with R. Diaz equalising in the forty-ninth minute before Y. Ruidiaz put them ahead in the sixtieth. N. Da Campo rescued a point for the hosts in the ninetieth minute, and the game moved to penalties.
The shootout proved nervy from the start. Y. Ruidiaz and Y. Celi both converted their opening efforts, but then Atlético Grau scored twice in a row through G. E. Alfaro Martinez and N. Da Campo while Sport Boys failed to respond. I. Tapia and J. Davey added their penalties, but M. Da Luz missed for Sport Boys and G. Dulanto restored the balance for Atlético Grau. P. Lavandeira Hernandez could not find the target for Sport Boys, and Atlético Grau closed the game out.
The statistics tell a story of mutual pressure more than dominance. Atlético Grau registered fifty-eight attacks and four shots on target, while Sport Boys managed seventy-two attacks and five shots on target. Both sides held possession at half, and each received two yellow cards — G. Dulanto and I. Tapia for the hosts, P. Lavandeira Hernandez and an unnamed Sport Boys player.
Atlético Grau are now through to the semi-finals. They had lost 1-0 to Sport Boys earlier in the month on 1 August, and this result extends their unbeaten run to five matches across all competitions. Sport Boys fall at the quarter-final stage despite their recent form, which had included a 5-1 victory over Cienciano and a 1-1 draw with Alianza Lima.
