Sporting Cristal Women opened the scoring in the 12th minute and never looked back, though the match statistics show a contest that was far tighter than the 7-0 scoreline suggests. Possession was nearly even, with a 52-48 split in favour of the home side, and Carlos Mannucci Women managed 10 shots to Sporting Cristal's 14. The disparity in the final third was the difference: Sporting Cristal put nine of their attempts on target and converted seven, while Carlos Mannucci managed only three shots on goal and failed to find the net. The Lemeister model had projected a 3-0 win for Sporting Cristal with a 69 per cent probability; the actual margin of victory was substantially wider than expected.
The second and third goals arrived in the 24th and 31st minutes, establishing a three-goal lead before the interval. By that point Sporting Cristal had already generated an expected goals total of 2.4 against Carlos Mannucci's 0.6, reflecting the quality of chances they were creating. The home side's finishing efficiency was extraordinary, converting seven goals from an xG of 3.8 overall, while the visitors' 0.8 xG went unrewarded. The match was effectively decided by Sporting Cristal's ruthlessness in the area and their opponents' inability to convert any of the half-chances they carved out.
The scoring continued after the break, with the fourth goal in the 56th minute and the fifth in the 69th. Two further goals in the final 15 minutes, the sixth in the 78th and the seventh in the 89th, completed the rout. All seven were scored from open play according to the goal types listed. The pattern of the second half mirrored the first: Sporting Cristal added 1.4 to their xG total while holding Carlos Mannucci to 0.2, and their shot accuracy remained clinical.
The statistics reveal the gulf in execution rather than territory. Sporting Cristal completed 86 per cent of their passes compared to 81 per cent for Carlos Mannucci, and their five corners to the visitors' three reflected sustained attacking pressure. The absence of any cards from the data suggests a clean contest with little friction, the winning margin was built entirely through footballing quality in the final third.
All seven goals were scored by players not listed in the nameable data, so individual credit cannot be assigned here. What the numbers show is a team that took every chance that came its way and a defence that allowed nothing. The Sporting Cristal goalkeeper faced three shots on target and kept a clean sheet, while their attackers posted a conversion rate of 50 per cent from their 14 attempts. On the other side, Carlos Mannucci's finishing accuracy of 30 per cent was not strong enough to trouble the scoreboard.
The result lifts Sporting Cristal Women to a commanding position in the Apertura table with nine matches played. A goal difference now potentially among the best in the division, built on a second consecutive clean sheet, will serve them well in the title race. For Carlos Mannucci Women, this is a heavy defeat that leaves them looking for answers in attack, having now failed to score in three of their last four outings. The data suggests the margin was unkind, but the consequence in points is absolute.
