Overview
- The Liga de Fútbol Profesional moved the fixture because Melgar's flight was cancelled, postponing the game to Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. in La Matanza, Morropón.
- The match, played Tuesday, finished 1-0 for Atlético Grau after Diego Barreto struck from outside the area in the 69th minute with the shot hitting the post and going in.
- The game was held at the small-capacity La Matanza stadium and was broadcast on L1 Max and streamed on L1 Play with minute-by-minute coverage from RPP.
- The result raised Atlético Grau to 13 points in the Torneo Clausura and 29 in the accumulated table while Melgar remained on 11 Clausura points and dropped position in the Clausura standings.
- Both teams turn quickly to league obligations with Grau visiting Garcilaso and Melgar hosting ADT on September 6, a sequence that will test whether Grau can sustain its escape from relegation pressure and whether Melgar can stop its uneven run.
