In a neutral field and without benefits for the “visitor”: this is how Alianza and Cristal will define the League 1 champion in a month

More than playing a game for the three points, Lima Alliance and Sporting Crystal They gave us this Sunday afternoon at the Nacional a preview of what the finals of the League 1 next November 21 and 28, respectively. And in that context, the celestial ones gave the first blow: they won 3-1, a result that reflects what was the process of the match. They were just winners.

With a Marcos Riquelme uncovered – he scored his second double of the year – and an Irven Ávila as a figure with two assists and a goal, Cristal he took the classic. Hernán Barcos had discounted adding emotion to the game, but his goal only served for statistics.

In the slate duel, Roberto Mosquera he won the first round in a resounding way. With wide open ends, exchanging positions so that they are not referenced, the rimeses exposed the shortcomings of a Victorian team that remembered late on how these types of matches should be played.

“It hurts to lose, especially because we give away time”, the Alliance coach pointed out, notably annoyed. Carlos Bustos. It is not for less. . He lost in both games. In fact, the celestial cast is also the only one that scored three goals for the intimate box. .

There are four weeks until the finals of the League 1 2021. Four weeks -and a match for phase 2- in which the technicians will have to work to polish virtues and correct mistakes. But there is also the fan’s doubt about how the national champion will be defined. In the following paragraphs we will clear all the questions.

This is how the champion is defined

Alianza Lima and Sporting Cristal will meet on November 21 and 28, respectively, at the National Stadium to decide who is the new monarch of Peruvian football. The celestial ones ensured their presence in the definition of the championship by winning phase 1, while the blue and white had an exceptional phase 2 and agreed last date.

This Sunday’s victory for the Rimeses left them at the top of the accumulated table with 57 points, two more than the Blue and Whites, with a date to play. “The club that has had the highest score in the Accumulated Table of Positions will have the right to choose its turn to be local”, indicates the regulations of League 1, although both matches will be played in the same stadium.

Another key point is to know that.

Secondly, all cards will be voided once phase 2 is over, but not suspensions. That is, if a certain player is sent off on the last round, the first or both finals will be lost, depending on the punishment imposed. The same happens if a footballer arrives in the chapel on the last date and receives a yellow card. In this case the first final would not play.

The date is scheduled. The stage is set. And the conditions are there. In four weeks, Lima Alliance and Sporting Crystal will be measured to define the best of 2021.
