Acasiete and Tizón Apologize After On-Camera Clash During Cienciano–Juan Pablo II Match

The club calls it an internal matter, with two matches left under relegation threat.

Overview

  • Late in the weekend game in Cusco, coach Santiago Acasiete substituted Cristhian Tizón at 87 minutes, prompting a confrontation captured on TV that quickly went viral.
  • Video shows Tizón making a two-finger gesture toward the bench and Acasiete pushing him before players and staff intervened.
  • Moments after the change, Osnar Noronha scored Cienciano’s 2-1 winner, compounding Juan Pablo II’s struggles in the Clausura.
  • Acasiete later described the incident as a “calentura del momento” and said all is well, while Tizón issued a public apology and confirmed they spoke and moved on.
  • Juan Pablo II sits 16th on 30 points, one above the drop zone, with two fixtures remaining starting against Atlético Grau on Saturday.
