Sporting Cristal women secured a 3:0 victory against Unsaak in the Clausura round eight of the Women's League on Friday. The hosts opened a six-point gap at the third position with that result. It was a straightforward afternoon for the home side at their ground.
The margin reflects the difference in form between the two sides. Unsaak have taken just one win from ten league games and sit ninth, while Cristal boast seven victories and twenty-one points. The visitors have collected three draws and six defeats in the same period.
We had called for a home win at ninety-four percent confidence before kick-off, and the result confirmed that reading. To be fair, the gap in quality showed from the first whistle. Cristal looked comfortable on the ball and picked up two bookings in five minutes of the second half without trouble.
The recent record tells the story as well. Cristal won four of their last five matches before this one, including a 4:0 victory over Killas. Unsaak have won only one of their last ten league games and lost three of their four most recent outings. By then the pattern was clear enough.
That win moves Cristal further clear in the table while Unsaak remain in the lower half. The hosts now sit twenty points ahead of the visitors with ten games played by each side. There is unrest in the dressing room for the away side, but that is an assessment, not a fact. The fact is that the club sits top of the table would be wrong — they are third, but the points gap is growing.
