Sporting Cristal, contrastingly, have showed their strength and continued their class into the “Clausura” phase of the Copa Movistar (Peruvian Primera Division). In the overall table, Sporting Cristal have been slowly gaining ground on the 9 point difference league leaders Universitario, champions of the “Apertura” phase, had on them since the Clausura phase began. Sporting Cristal sit now just 1 point behind Universitario and have got themselves back on track (W1 D1) since their disappointing 2-0 defeat to local rivals Allianza Lima a few weeks back.
