Cometián Unidos beat Cusco 3-1 in the Clausura round four of the Primera at home on 7 August 2026. The visitors took an early lead through F. Callejo in the twenty-sixth minute before the hosts worked back into the game. Three second-half goals followed, including one after J. Rodriguez was sent off in the eighty-ninth minute. The result leaves Cometián Unidos on 30 points in eleventh place, while Cusco stay fifth with 42.
Callejo gave Cusco the advantage before the half-hour mark, and the visitors kept up their pressure in the opening exchanges. Cometián struggled to create much, managing just one corner in the first half. To be fair, they had their chances — two big chances created overall — but the conversion rate was poor. Four shots on target against five off target tells you where the problems lay.
By then the match had shifted. Rodriguez received his second yellow card in the eighty-ninth minute and was shown red, leaving Cusco with ten men. Cometián sensed blood and pressed forward. M. Sen had already given the hosts the lead in the eighty-sixth minute, and A. Cossio added a late third in stoppage time. The visitors were second to everything in those final minutes.
The statistics show Cusco controlled possession at 58 per cent and completed 375 passes compared to 257, but they did not translate that into clear chances. They created only one big chance against two for Cometián. The hosts were more direct, with 51 passes into the final third, while the visitors camped in their own half too often. When you have 76 backward passes, you are not attacking.
This was not a game decided by sustained dominance but by moments. Cometián made the difference when it mattered, taking advantage of a numerical advantage and their own urgency. Cusco are running out of games in the Clausura if they want to climb further. The gap between fifth and eleventh is 12 points, and that is not going to close quickly.
