After a disappointing 2-1 defeat away at newly-promoted Molinos El Pirata FC in the first round, Real Garcilaso played at home in Cusco against Universidad de San Martin de Porres on Monday afternoon.
Head coach Hector Tapia left the usual captain Alfredo Ramua on the bench. Real Garcilaso played with: Farro - Arismendi, Robles, Dulanto, Cossio - Miguez, Archimbaud - Souza, Manco (76 Lecaros), Nunez (67 Rengifo) - Carando (66 Ramua).
Universidad de San Martin: Penny - Salas, Portales, Lujan, Huerto - Oliva, Afolabi (32 F. Espinoza), Guivin - Palacios (56 R. Espinoza), Olivera, Bolivar (46 Mora). Head coach: Carlos Bustos.
The first half was clearly dominated by Real Garcilaso, which scored early, in the 14th minute: after Souza's cross from the right side, goalkeeper Penny deflected the ball mistakenly in front and Miguez had a strong shot from outside the box: 1-0. The home side had other opportunities but scoreboard did not change before half time.
In the second half, the visitors also had a couple of chances, but Real Garcilaso managed to score again in the 68th minute, by Archimbaud, after a corner from the left by Ramua, who had just entered the field: 2-0. It looked like everything was settled, but the visitors succeeded to score in the 80th minute, with a great shot from distance by Olivera: 2-1.
So the final minutes were rather tense. Referee Joel Alarcon took the harsh decision to send off Portales for a rather normal foul on Ramua in the 83rd minute, which really put gas on fire for the visitors, who started protesting. Goalkeeper Penny was also sent off for protests. Field player Espinoza had to play as a goalkeeper for the last minutes and he did a great job, saving a couple of difficult shots from Real Garcilaso strikers.
The final score was 2-1 for Real Garcilaso but the supporters were quite unhappy with the team overall performance, despite the win. Head coach Hector Tapia needs other good results in short time to make up for a disastrous start of the season.
