Cusco FC is last in the classification despite a 2-2 draw in local derby against Cienciano

Friday, 27 August 2021, 3:30 pm local time (8:30 pm UTC), Alejandro Villanueva Stadium, Lima (neutral ground), Peru, 9th round, Stage 2, Peruvian First Division.

While this was not even remotely considered at the beginning of the season, Cusco FC are now last in the classification and are serious candidates for relegation with 8 rounds remaining. Marcelo Grioni has finally arrived as manager but he has little time to clear up the existing mess. In the previous game, Cusco FC lost 4-1 to Sporting Cristal, with Castellano as interim manager because Grioni was still on his way to Lima, where all matches are now played.

The match against Cienciano gave a bit of hope to Cusco FC fans, as few as they are, as Cusco FC were very close to win the game and would have certainly deserved the three points. But, as in other games they were lucky to get a point, in this one the lucky ones were those of Cienciano, especially judging by the looks of the last 30 minutes of the match. Well, except for the last attack of the match, when Cienciano equalized.

In the first half, the game was quite balanced. Cienciano took the lead rather early, as Jordan Guivin's shot took a deflection out of Gonzales, which misled the goalkeeper Pretel: 0-1 (10'). Aldair Perleche suffered a serious injury in 27' and the game was paused for about seven minutes, until the ambulance left the field. It is bizarre that the referee probably did not count correctly those minutes, because the extra time for the first half was in fact 12 minutes instead of 7 for no particular reason. Not long after the game was resumed, a free kick for Cusco FC on the right side was executed by Víctor Cedrón, and the goalkeeper Ferreyra made a tremendous error by not catching a simple ball: 1-1 (38').

The cross by Cedrón was too long, but goalkeeper Ferreyra tried to save with the feet instead of catching the ball, which just went in and Cusco equalized 1-1. Source: Cusco FC Facebook page

The second half started badly for Cusco FC, as young Carlos Orbe received two yellow cards within four minutes and was sent off (49'). Down to ten, Cusco FC went into a fully defensive mood, but the situation changed once again when Cienciano's Koichi Aparicio also received a second yellow card and was sent off (60'), so the numerical equality in the field was restored.

The last 30 minutes of the game belonged almost entirely to Cusco FC, which had at least five clear chances to score, on one on one with goalkeeper Ferreyra, but Mauricio Montes (once), José Daniel Rivera (three times) and José Junhior Velásquez (once) missed incredibly. All this bad luck seemed to come to an end in the first minute of extra time, when Matías Abisab finally found the right shot from inside the box, after a cross from the left side, and a ball reverted to him by Manuel Corrales: 2-1 (90'+1').

While there were lots of celebrations for Cusco FC, the match was not over, unhappily for them. In the last minute of extra time, a free kick from the left side was taken by Kevin Sandoval, whose cross went right to one of his teammates, whose header was initially saved by Pretel, but then Adrián Ugarriza scored from short range: 2-2 (90'+3').

Cusco FC: Pretel - Orbe, Gonzales, Rizzo, Corrales - Aubert, Abisab - Cedrón (Tello 79'), Ramúa (Velásquez 54'), Rivera - Montes. Manager: Marcelo Grioni.

Cienciano: Ferreyra - A. Perleche (Lojas 35'), Aparicio, Riojas, E. Perleche - Ayarza (Ugarriza 75'), Álvarez, Guivin - Romagnoli (Carpio 82'), Carando, Sandoval. Manager: Gerardo Ameli.

Referee: Michael Espinoza.

Yellow cards: Rizzo 17', Orbe 46', 49', Corrales 79', Montes 90'+2', Tello 90'+4' - Lojas 37', Aparicio 51', 60'.

Red cards: Orbe 49' - Aparicio 60' (both for the second yellow card).

The situation is difficult for Cusco FC. They desperately need to win matches, draws are no longer enough. Grioni has little time, the team is very weak. Pretel is the fourth goalkeeper used this season, there is no right back in the team, all the players which were forcibly tried to play there failed (Orbe is just the last example), the centre backs are insecure, and so on. Diego Minaya, who came as the best centre back in the 2020 Peruvian First League, has not played a single minute so far because of injuries. Usual left back Céspedes is also injured. The entire defense is a fiasco, almost every game. The centre forward is also a problem. Royón was brought in midyear as a great striker, but his style of play does not fit the rest of the team and he is no longer used. The offensive midfielders and the wingers are trying to cover for such a lack of a striker, but it is not always enough, although Rivera, Cedrón, Carranza or Rengifo had some good games. Unfortunately Ramúa is no longer the leader that he once was and his efficiency is lower than expected. Abisab is certainly replacing him, up to a point. Finally, the team must use young players for a certain amount of time, but the young players have not given any satisfaction so far.

Their next match will be against Ayacucho FC in mid-September, after a break caused by the matches of the national team. Cienciano's next match would be against FBC Melgar, in the so-called derby of the South. It was interesting to see many former Cusco FC (or Real Garcilaso) footballers playing for Cienciano: Ferreyra, Lojas, and Cusco FC's historic goalscorer, Danilo Carando.

Polish manager Lech Czaja is on the right track with 1. FK Svidník, despite 1-0 defeat away at Kalša

Sunday, 22 August 2021, 4 pm local time (2 pm UTC), TJ Mladost' Stadium, Kalša, Slovakia, 5th matchday of the Slovak Third League - East Group (3. Liga - Východ).

TJ Mladost' Kalša were big favourites to win the game against last classified 1. FK Svidník, but they had some troubles to clinch a 1-0 win. The arrival of the new Polish manager at Svidník, Lech Czaja, has certainly had an impact on the team, and this was already visible a week ago, in the 2-1 loss at home against now leaders MFK Vranov nad Topl'ou.

The home team started better and they succeeded to score the only goal of the match by means of Peter Krakovský in the 31st minute. 1. FK Svidník played well and balanced the game, even pressuring for an equalizer in the second half.

Lech Czaja also brought a couple of Polish players. Besides Mateusz Wszola, who has already played for 1. FK Svidník in the previous matches, two other players made their debut: Kamil Kasperkowicz and Daniel Jucha. They add very well to the existing group of young local players and the Russian Aleksei Shliakhov.

Kalša: E. Kolbas - Krakovský, Šul'ák, Šalagovič, Zeher (Patkanóci 71'), Vojtovič, Seman, Kolek (Sitár 71'), J. Kolbas, Majerník (Capík 81'), Novák. Manager:

Svidník: Dzupina - Kasperkowicz, Makara, Guman, Jucha, Shliakhov, Wszola (Daňo 62'), D. Čabala, Oravec, Haňak (T. Čabala 46'), Kubis. Manager: Lech Czaja (officially, Alexander Tyč).

Referee: Peter Zidišin.

Yellow cards: Vojtovič 28', Majerník 56', Kolek 60' (all from Kalša).

Next Sunday, 1. FK Svidník will face their rivals, Tesla Stropkov, at home. The match finds the two teams at different ends of the classification: 1. FK Svidník are last, but ready to get out of the relegation area, while Tesla Stropkov are unexpectedly in second place, only separated by goal difference from the top position of MFK Vranov nad Topl'ou. However, it is very likely that all these differences will be erased in the field.

Marcelo Grioni is the new manager of Cusco FC

Just a couple of days after Claudio Vivas was sacked, Cusco FC appointed a new manager. As expected, another Argentinian, Marcelo Grioni, received the difficult task to save Cusco FC from relegation in the remaining 10 matches of the Peruvian First Division (Stage 2).

Marcelo Grioni is not entirely new to the team, as he managed Real Garcilaso (the name of Cusco FC until 2019) in 2017. Those were different times, when the Cusco team was fighting for the national title, eventually finishing second, behind Alianza Lima.

Marcelo Grioni was manager of Real Garcilaso in 2017, and came back to Cusco FC to save the team from relegation.

More recently, as manager of the other Cusco team, Cienciano, he succeeded to promote to the Peruvian First Division in 2019 and had very good results there in 2020 and the first half of 2021.

Cusco's first match with Marcelo Grioni as manager will be a very tough one. On Sunday evening, Cusco FC will face defending champions Sporting Cristal.

Competition details and format

 

The Slovak Third League, or 3. Liga (in Slovak), also named III. liga, represents the third tier in the football system of Slovakia. The 2021-2022 season is the 29^th since Slovakia separated from the Czech Republic to become an independent state in 1993, and it comes after two consecutive seasons deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The season started on the 31^st of July 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, applying certain measures to prevent infection.

There are 66 teams which compete in the Third League in 2021-2022 and, just like in previous years, they are divided into 4 groups: Bratislava (16 teams), West (Západ, 18 teams), Centre (Stred, 16 teams) and East (Východ, 16 teams). The competition format is established as a double (home and away) round-robin championship, each team playing all other teams twice, once at home and once away, a total of 30 rounds (34 rounds in the case of the West Group). The winners of every group promote to the Second League (2. Liga). At the end of this season, due to the new structure of the Third League and Fourth League starting with 2022-2023, only the upper half of the teams will remain in the Third League, while the teams in the lower half would be relegated to the Fourth League, with the bottom team relegated to the Fifth League. The games in each group are organized by the four regional football associations, under the general supervision of the Slovak Football Association (SFZ).

Matches in the East (Východ) Group are organized by the Eastern Slovakia Football Association (VsFZ, Východoslovenský Futbalový Zväz). This group consists of teams located in Prešov and Košice regions in the eastern part of Slovakia. The season started on the 31^st of July 2021 and is scheduled to end in June 2022. Initially, 17 rounds were scheduled to be played between July and November 2021, while the other 13 remaining rounds were scheduled to be played between March and June 2022. However, due to the impact of COVID-19, as the situation got worse in October 2021, it was decided that only half of the rounds (15) would be played in 2021, and that the week-ends in November would be used for already postponed matches, to make sure that all matches of the first half are played before the end of the year. Nevertheless, at the beginning of November 2021, it was decided that all postponed matches be played in 2022, and no more matches were scheduled in 2021. All postponed matches (except one) are scheduled in February and March 2022, ahead of the start of the second half of the season. The second half of the season is scheduled in spring and summer 2022 as well, depending on the pandemic situation.

The main contenders for promotion were initially considered 1. FC Tatran Prešov, one of the traditionally strong teams in Slovakia, as well as ŠK Odeva Lipany, which were also the best teams during the previous season, except for the winners FK Humenné. MFK Vranov nad Topľou, Slávia TU Košice, MŠK Tesla Stropkov and FK Spišská Nová Ves were also considered among the favorites to a top position. While relegated from the Second League, FK Poprad were not taken into account among the favourites to promote this season. Surprisingly, FK Spišská Nová Ves had an excellent first half of the season, and finished first before the winter break, two points ahead of the main favourites, 1. FC Tatran Prešov, and with a game in hand. ŠK Odeva Lipany were third, six points behind the leaders, followed by Slávia TU Košice and MŠK Tesla Stropkov. Despite their fifth position during the winter break, MŠK Tesla Stropkov also had a very good first half of the season, and they were most of the time in second position, losing pace towards the end of the first half of the season. However, they still have two postponed matches to be played, unlike most of the other contenders for the top spot and may climb more in the table, although it is hard to believe that they could challenge the leaders.

The number of relegated teams from the East Group would increase this season, due to the restructuring of the Third League and Fourth League starting with 2022-2023. As a result, almost half of the teams would be relegated to the Fourth League at the end of the season, while the bottom classified team would be relegated to the Fifth League. The newly-promoted teams, OFK - SIM Raslavice and OŠK Rudňany, were considered among the most vulnerable and most likely to be involved in the fight to avoid relegation. However, there were also other teams that have shown consistent weaknesses lately and fear relegation, including MŠK Spišské Podhradie, MFK Slovan Giraltovce, FK Sobrance-Sobranecko, FK POKROK SEZ Krompachy and 1. FK Svidník. At winter break, 1. FK Svidník were in the last place, not winning a single point, and are the main candidates for relegation despite having three postponed matches to play. Right above them, MŠK Spišské Podhradie and FK POKROK SEZ Krompachy also gathered very few points and would fight to avoid the relegation spot, with some postponed matches to play as well. Newly-promoted OFK - SIM Raslavice and OŠK Rudňany, as well as FK Sobrance-Sobranecko, are as well involved in the fight to avoid relegation. The lower half of the table also include MFK Slovan Giraltovce and TJ Mladost’ Kalša.
