A knee injury of the worst kind for Junior Dávila
125 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Sport Huancayo lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Juan Giménez runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 38. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Massimo Sandi decides it from twelve yards
2 kept out in the shoot-out, and a stadium that will still be describing them in twenty years. A goalkeeper only needs one of these to be remembered forever.

Piero Magallanes sends Sport Huancayo through
Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Piero Magallanes obliged against UTC. 1‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Sport Huancayo.

Omar Reyes falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

César Bautista will join Sport Huancayo for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. César Bautista has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Sport Huancayo have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.
