The match between Los Chankas and Sporting Cristal started surprisingly for the fans. In the 12th minute, Jarlín Quintero took advantage of a defensive error by Leandro Sosa, who made a short pass to Diego Enríquez, resulting in a goal for Los Chankas. This ‘blunder’ by the celeste defense left Paulo Autuori, coach of Sporting Cristal, visibly frustrated. The match, which corresponds to the ninth round of the 2026 Apertura Tournament, took place in Andahuaylas. Los Chankas began the match with great intensity, while Sporting Cristal sought to establish their usual game.
The lineup of Los Chankas included Canacho in goal and players like Franco Torres and Jarlín Quintero, while Sporting Cristal featured Enríquez, Sosa, and Yotún, among others. Autuori’s reaction after the goal reflects the importance of correcting defensive errors within the team. This match not only represents an opportunity to earn points but also a challenge to adjust tactics throughout the tournament.
