Table of positions: until Monday, April 8, date 10 of the Apertura Tournament of Liga 1 2024 will be played. Sporting Cristal was awarded the lead in the classification of the first championship of the year after its victory against Sport Huancayo, leaving it relegated in the second location to the Sports University.

Alianza Lima defeated Carlos A. Mannucci in Trujillo and maintains its chances of competing in this tournament. The ‘blue and white’ shortened the difference to six points with the ‘U’, the leader of the table, four with Cristal who is second. Those led by coach Alejandro Restrepo are recovering their good feelings by breaking a bad streak of results with a victory against Los Chankas and a hard-fought draw against Fluminense in Matute for the Libertadores. On the contrary, the ‘Carlists’ of coach Franco Navarro accumulated five games without winning.

Melgar and Los Chankas shared the points in Andahuaylas. The ‘domino’ was close to winning with goals from Jean Pierre Archimbaud and Bernardo Cuesta; However, the ‘warriors’ equalized the score with goals from Carlos Gamarra and Carlos López. The latter was a free kick and in stoppage time (101′).

Melgar tied 2-2 with Los Chankas on matchday 10 of the Apertura Tournament of League 1.

César Vallejo rescued a point against Unión Comercio during his visit to Tarapoto. Despite starting out winning with a great goal from Paolo Guerrero, ‘Chicho’ Salas’ team was unable to maintain its advantage and they turned the match around thanks to the scores of Hernán Pérez and Héctor Zeta. Finally, Stefano Olaya, from the penalty spot, made it 2-2.

Universitario beat Alianza Atlético in the Monumental, regained first place in the Apertura and confirmed the good moment the team is going through after completing 11 undefeated games so far this season after the 2-1 comeback against LDU in the debut in the Copa Libertadores 2024. For its part, the ‘northern gale’ could not reverse the negative trend and went four games without winning: two defeats and a couple of draws.

Sport Boys and Atlético Grau opened the day in Piura with a goalless draw. The ‘pinks’ added 11 points and their third duel without achieving a victory. Meanwhile, the ‘albos’ gave up ground at home and were left with 14 units.

Sporting Cristal received Sport Huancayo at the Alberto Gallardo stadium with the pressure of recovering the top of the table, which the ‘creams’ temporarily took from them. The ‘bajopontinos’ managed to fulfill their duty and obtained a resounding 4-0 win over the ‘red matador’. Irven Ávila (53′), Ignácio da Silva (67′), Yoshimar Yotún (74′) and Diego Otoya (92′) scored the goals for the ‘Rimense’, who claim first place in the first competition of the year.
