Sporting Cristal vs Deportivo Municipal will play this Saturday LIVE for the tenth date of the Liga 1 Apertura Tournament from 3:30pm (Peruvian time) at Alberto Stadium Gallardo. The celestes want to win a victory while the current championship leader has a new challenge: to get the fourth consecutive defeat of the leaders of coach Roberto Mosquera.

The 'brewers' have had three consecutive defeats in almost a week: against Flamengo and Universidad Católica de Chile in the Copa Libertadores; and with César Vallejo University last Friday, in Trujillo. The Rimac team wants to wash their faces against 'La Academia'.

Deportivo Municipal is at the top of Liga 1 with 20 points, but he has to beat Sporting Cristal to continue adding because behind the councilors are Deportivo Binacional, Cienciano, Sport Huancayo and even Universitario de Deportes.

“I tell the fans to keep going to the stadium, to continue supporting us, we know that they will be with us in good times and bad. Very happy to always be able to see them in the stadium and that they generate that beautiful atmosphere that is lived,” said player Adrián Ascues in an interview with Infobae.

For its part, Sporting Cristal has 12 points - with one match less - in the Peruvian tournament and has to add up so that it does not move away from the top positions of the 2022 Liga 1.

“We know we are going to have a lot of things against us,” said celestial coach Roberto Mosquera after two defeats in the Copa Libertadores, although he said he likes how his team was playing in the continental championship.

For his part, the coach of 'La Franja', Hernán Lisi, considered that, although he is at the top of Liga 1, they have to be “cautious because this is just halfway through, we have to be realistic and understand that the road is long”.
