A tense episode marked the recent match between Cienciano and Comerciantes Unidos in the Apertura Tournament of Liga 1. The game, which ended with a dramatic 1-0 victory for the Cusco team, had a controversial outcome that led to a confrontation off the field. Comerciantes Unidos coach Claudio ‘Pampa’ Biaggio lost control in the parking lot of the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega Stadium.

After the incident, a member of the technical staff of the Cutervo team expressed his discontent with Melgarejo, accusing him of insults. “Is that the coach you have?” he questioned, emphasizing the image that a club like Cienciano should project.
