Universidad San Martín beat Deportiva Agropecuaria 3:1 in the Segunda División's Regular Season round 14 on 16 August 2026. The hosts took all three points at home, extending their advantage over the visitors who sit a few places below them in the table. And here's the thing — it wasn't the most open of games, but the decisive moments came when it mattered.
D. Ismodes opened the scoring in the 30th minute, giving the home side an early lead. C. Lopez doubled the advantage just before half-time with a goal in the 40th minute. F. Rodriguez pulled one back for the visitors in the 74th minute, but K. Sanchez sealed the win with a late strike in the 86th minute.
There were five yellow cards scattered through the match — N. Tecilla at 21 minutes, an unnamed player at 22, J. Yllescas at 37, G. Acevedo at 57, and another at 76. Yllescas was substituted at half-time, while there were six changes in the second half, including a handful made simultaneously at the 64th and 65th minutes. C. Lopez and D. Ismodes were both brought off after scoring.
The result keeps Universidad San Martín in fifth place with 23 points from 14 games — seven wins, two draws and five defeats. Deportiva Agropecuaria remain in seventh on 15 points from 13 matches, with three wins, six draws and four losses. To be fair, the gap between them isn't enormous, but it's enough to matter when the season tightens.
For the hosts, this was a welcome response after a 3-0 defeat to Deportivo Llaquabamba on 1 August. The visitors, meanwhile, had gone goalless in their last outing against the same side on 8 August. By then, it was clear which team wanted it more — and the scoreline reflected that.
