Sporting Cristal defeated Comerciantes Unidos by the slightest difference in Cutervo, however, they lost the opportunity to be crowned the winner of the Apertura Tournament by just 1 goal difference from Universitario de Deportes, who established themselves as the winner after beating 4-0 to Los Chankas.
After this new setback, Joel Raffo, president of Cristal, came out to clarify his fandom. “That is totally a lie, I take this moment to clarify it, if you see the only shirt I have from another team and you see the chest part, a sponsor appears, which is the Inka Cup, which we organized in 2012 as a company. Both the teams that we participated in, ‘U’ and Alianza in the United States, gave me the shirt as the organizer and I put it on.”, the president expressed to Entre Bolas.
“Since I was 12 years old I have been in Sporting Cristal, I have played and I feel fully identified in Sporting Cristal. Not only in words, but in deeds, what greater sense of ownership could there be than having to invest my own money unlike many others who say many things but when they had to put up the money they didn’t put it in? he added.
