Overview

• Comerciantes Unidos went ahead through Guzmán at 15 minutes before substitute Facundo Callejo leveled for Cusco F.C. at 50.
• Callejo, recently back from injury, exited at 71 minutes with discomfort, creating a fresh fitness concern for the run-in.
• Cusco stands on 23 points in the Clausura and 57 in the aggregate, seven behind leaders Universitario; Comerciantes Unidos has 16 in the Clausura and 27 aggregate.
• Cusco’s second place in the aggregate could be lost if Alianza Lima defeats Sport Boys at Matute in the upcoming fixture.
• Midfielder Miguel Aucca described the result as a “draw with the taste of defeat” and said attention now shifts to the derby against Cienciano on October 18.
