Cienciano 2026 Copa Sudamericana advance

Entities: Cienciano · Alejandro Hohberg · Carlos Garcés · Lanús · Juan Román Riquelme

Overview

In late July 2026, Cienciano overturned a 2‑0 first‑leg deficit against Lanús with a 4‑0 home win in Cusco, advancing 4‑2 on aggregate to the round of 16. Ecuadorian striker Carlos Garcés opened the scoring after a missed header rebounded off his knee and added a second before halftime; Alejandro Hohberg completed the comeback with a brace. The high altitude of the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega stadium (over 3,300 m) was cited as a decisive factor. CONMEBOL awarded the club a $600,000 prize for reaching this stage, bolstering its finances. Coach Horacio Melgarejo praised the squad’s resilience, while Hohberg said the performance restores his confidence after a difficult domestic season and strengthens his case for a recall to the Peru national team. He expressed hope for a call‑up from coach Mano Menezes and a desire to become a regular, influential player for Cienciano in Liga 1. The victory sets up a knockout tie with Brazilian side Botafogo in early August, with the altitude advantage expected to remain a key asset.
