Saturday, 11 September 2021, 1:15 pm local time (6:15 pm UTC), Iván Elías Moreno Stadium, Lima (neutral ground), Peru, 10th round of the Stage 2, Peruvian First Division (Liga 1).
Cusco FC needed the three points badly to make a first step in order to avoid relegation. And they succeeded, despite the fact that Ayacucho is a good team, fighting for a place in the next year Copa Libertadores.
Cusco FC started the game very well, and scored early. Sandro Rengifo made a great run on the right, the opposite defense was unable to clear, and José Velásquez took his chance and shot at the near post: 1-0 (14'). Cusco's mission was much helped by the second yellow card received by Minzún Quina, who was therefore sent off (34').

With one man up, Cusco FC enlarged their advantage in the second half. First, Édson Aubert launched Sandro Rengifo on another run, this time right in the center, and he finalized in style: 2-0 (60'). Miguel Carranza crossed from the left to Mauricio Montes, who made it 3-0 from short range (75'). In the extra time, Janio Pósito established the final score, 3-1, with a beautiful header (90'+1').
