Peru Primera Division, Descentralizado
Up until this week, Juan Aurich were the most in-form team from Peru, being the only undefeated team of the league, and mounting a serious title challenge. But then, came the loss in the heights of Cuzco, at the hands of the league leaders, so now Aurich have to start all over again. Of course, one loss isn't the end of the world, as with a win tonight they could leapfrog Alianza (if they don't win their match), and would be just 2 points behind leaders Cienciano, and honestly, I don't see them keeping this form for the entire tournament. Inti Gas is respecting their status as a typical home team in Peru, where they also have the advantage of altitude. Therefore, they are undefeated at home, but also without a win when playing as visitors. And when you lose with a big difference at Alianza Atletico and Sport Boys (a team which Aurich won 5-0, as visitors), a trip to Chiclayo certainly doesn't sound too good. To make things worse, Inti Gas will also miss 5 players: Ricardo Perez, Rodrigo Ferreyra and Julio Landauri are injured, while Jose Cuero and Jose Moisela are suspended. Just Landauri is a key player for them, but Moisela and Cuero are pretty important as well, so it is certain they will feel their absences. GL!
Juan Aurich (-1 AH) @ 1.89, 4/10
Result: 3-0, WON
