The Peru Cup 2023 is coming to an end! After the semifinals were played, the two finalist teams that will face each other in the last instance of the popular national competition are now known. ADA Jaen and FC San Marcos They are the clubs that got their ticket to this final stage, after beating UCV de Moquegua and Juan Pablo II, respectively.
The Cajamarca squad was the first squad to go into action. In front, he had a tough rival, like the ‘Poet’. Despite this, Roberto Arrelucea’s squad was able to show a high level, managing to surpass its opponent in all its lines, which was left with only qualification for League 2 2024.
The match started with great intensity, with both clubs very involved in the opposite field. However, UCV de Moquegua had the opportunity to take the lead on the scoreboard, but the VAR intervened to annul a goal by Manuel Olaya, due to a previous advanced position.
In the second half, the story was totally different. At 51′, the Moqueguana squad was left with 10, after the expulsion of Oscar Cueva. Thus, ADA Jaén took advantage and was superior in different parts of the field, reflecting this by scoring the only goal of the match through Andy Huamán (62′). Although the rivals tried to level the score, they did not find depth, leaving them with the defeat.
Hours later, it was the turn of Juan Pablo II and FC San Marcos, teams that faced each other at the Iván Elías Moreno Stadium. Although there were no goals in the first half, the expulsion of Anderson Rodríguez at the end forced coach Daniel Valderrama to change his game plan.
In this way, without their forward, Chongoyape’s squad tried to hurt their rival, something they failed to do. As expected, the Áncash team took advantage of the superiority of men on the field, converting through the Roja brothers (José and Fabio) to make it 2-0. Of course, in the final minutes, the Lambayecan team was able to equalize the score, forcing them to decide their place in the final in the penalty shootout.
Already in the definition from the twelve steps, there were emotions from beginning to end. However, it was the Ancashina squad that took the victory 6-5, with Arley Velásquez being in charge of scoring the winning goal.
