The difference-makers

Sport Boys. Pablo Erustes concentrates the primary scoring responsibility for Sport Boys as the team's leading scorer, leaving minimal margin for error given the low collective offensive output in recent outings. If that main attacking reference fails to convert, the local side lacks secondary prolific options to sustain the required volume against FC Cajamarca.

FC Cajamarca. While José Mauricio Arrasco Calderón leads the visiting attack with five goals, FC Cajamarca must balance that offensive production against defensive frailties that yield over two goals per match in recent outings, presenting a direct challenge for the visiting backline at Estadio Miguel Grau del Callao.
