Melgar Lead 3-0 as Second Leg at Monumental Is Set

A draw will send Melgar into the Torneo Clausura final against Alianza Lima and Universitario must overturn the deficit to advance.

Overview

  • Melgar opened a decisive advantage with a 3-0 win in the first leg in Arequipa and go into the return match holding that aggregate lead.
  • The second‑leg is scheduled to be played at Estadio Monumental with kickoff at 3:00 p.m. (Peru time) and the winner on aggregate will advance to the grand final.
  • Reports conflict on which channel will televise the match, with some listings naming Bicolor+ and others listing L1 Max, leaving viewers unsure where to watch.
  • Despite the 3-0 aggregate deficit, major bookmakers list Universitario as the favorite for the single match, reflecting home advantage and market expectations rather than the aggregate math.
  • If Melgar advances they will face Alianza Lima in the final, and the tie’s timing on a busy South American match day could affect attendance and TV attention for women’s domestic football.
