Match report

Alianza Atlético Edge Sporting Cristal 3-1 in Clausura Six

Alianza Atlético secured a 3-1 victory over Sporting Cristal in the sixth round of the Clausura phase at Estadio Campeones del 36 on Thursday evening. The hosts took control despite Sporting Cristal maintaining possession throughout, ending a run of mixed results for both sides. Alianza Atlético moved to eighth place on 34 points, while Sporting Cristal remained tenth on 29 points. The opening exchanges were defined by controversy rather than clarity. H. Lupu's goal was ruled out for offside in the twenty-first minute, and Hernan Lupú's effort in the twenty-third suffered the same fate. The first legitimate strike came just before half-time when José Ingratti found the net in the forty-fifth minute plus two, giving Alianza Atlético a narrow lead. Michael Hoyos equalised for Sporting Cristal in the fifty-third minute, but the match turned on penalties in the second half. Ariel Muñoz converted his spot-kick in the eighty-fifth minute to restore the lead, and German Diaz sealed the victory with a penalty in the ninety-fifth minute. Sporting Cristal dominated possession at 57 per cent and completed 390 passes compared to Alianza Atlético's 286. Yet the hosts created three big chances to their opponents' one, and their shot accuracy of 37 per cent proved decisive against Sporting Cristal's 22 per cent. Seven shots on target for Alianza Atlético produced three goals, while Sporting Cristal managed only two attempts on target from eight shots. The result leaves Alianza Atlético four points clear of Sporting Cristal in the table. Both sides have played 24 matches, and the gap between them widens slightly as the Clausura phase progresses. The hosts have now won nine of their twenty-four games, while Sporting Cristal's eight victories sit alongside eleven defeats.
