Melgar started the second half against Deportivo Cali with more intensity and looking for the first before the encouragement of his fans at UNSA. Due to the pressure imposed, the red and black team got a penalty and scored the 1-0 through Bernardo Cuesta.

It all started 56 minutes into the game. The main referee of the match, Facundo Tello, stopped the game after receiving a warning from the VAR. Immediately, he went to the cameras where he confirmed a hand by Edgard Camargo in the “Sugar Bowl” area.

As expected, the red and black ‘9’ did not fail in the definition and placed the 1-0 in favor of the national team at the UNSA Monumental Stadium.
