Sporting Cristal performance and Copa de la Liga progress

Overview

Sporting Cristal has maintained competitive momentum in Peruvian football through late September 2026. Following a 3-1 victory over Atlético Grau and a 4-1 win against Sport Huancayo, the club advanced to the semifinals of the Copa Caliente de la Liga.

The semifinal series began on September 27, with Sporting Cristal facing ADT in the first leg at the Estadio Unión de Tarma. Sporting Cristal subsequently secured a place in the 2026 Copa de la Liga final following a dominant 5-0 victory over ADT at the Alberto Gallardo stadium. This victory resulted in a 6-0 aggregate score after their first-leg win in Tarma. Goals in the decisive match were scored by Michael Hoyos, Santiago González, who recorded a brace, Leandro Sosa, and Catriel Cabellos.

As of early October, the final opponent remains to be determined. Alianza Atlético and Sport Boys competed in the second leg of the semifinals at the Estadio Campeones del 36 in Sullana, a match played behind closed doors. Alianza Atlético entered the match with a 5-2 advantage from the first leg. To advance, Sport Boys required a victory by four or more goals, while a three-goal margin would necessitate a penalty shootout.

The tournament final is set for a single match on November 15 at a neutral venue, though the specific location is yet to be confirmed. The winner of this inaugural competition will receive two points for the 2027 cumulative table and a direct berth to the Recopa del Perú.
