Overview
- The FPF Disciplinary Commission awarded the suspended match to Comerciantes Unidos, granting them three points.
- Ayacucho FC fell into 17th place in the accumulated table and was relegated after losing to Cienciano, according to Libero.
- Juan Pablo II was effectively clear of immediate relegation danger following the ruling, an outcome described by coverage as an indirect benefit.
- Coach Santiago Acasiete said the team earned its place on sporting merit, denied receiving gifted points, and said he had no information about the resolution.
- Public criticism grew over potential favoritism because Juan Pablo II is reported to be owned by FPF president Agustín Lozano, while Ayacucho announced it will appeal to the CAS and pursued a complaint related to the suspended match.
