Academia Cantolao edged CD Llacuabamba 3-2 after a seesaw scoreline that began with an away opener and finished with a late home winner. The sequence shows Llacuabamba striking early (0:11:38) before Cantolao replied with a quick 1-1 by 0:22:40 and then 2-1 by 0:48:49, setting up a tense second half where Llacuabamba forced 2-2 at 0:57:39 and Cantolao sealed it at 1:19:41.

Cantolao’s attack demonstrated persistence, converting a greater share of chances across the first and the second half and ultimately delivering the deciding goal with a modest tempo increase late on. The home side balanced a 1-1 equaliser with an immediate lead, reflecting a willingness to press high for a quicker outcome after conceding, even though the early advantage swung back and forth.

Defensively, Cantolao faced more physicality, accumulating 19 fouls compared with 12 by Llacuabamba, which suggests a more aggressive approach to breaking up Llacuabamba’s play. Despite the higher foul count, Cantolao kept their discipline in the ledger with no red cards, while Llacuabamba collected three yellows, indicating tighter mid-block discipline from Cantolao’s defenders when the tempo increased.

Set-piece activity was even across the match, with both sides earning five corners and posting a low offside count relative to chances created, 1 for Cantolao and 2 for Llacuabamba. The equal corner tally implies neither side enjoyed a distinct set-piece advantage as a determinant of the result.

From a tactical standpoint, the momentum swung in Cantolao’s favour after half-time as they converted a 2-2 scenario into a winning finish. Llacuabamba’s early goal exposed a fragile moment in Cantolao’s transition defence, but the home side recovered to reassert control and close the game with a clinical late goal.

For bettors, the match highlighted Cantolao’s resilience when trailing and their capacity to edge a high-intensity contest, despite committing more fouls. The equal set-piece output and tighter offside discipline suggest Cantolao’s blend of grit and calculated pressure paid off in the closing stages, sustaining value for a home win despite a shaky start.
