Sport Huancayo took a 2-1 win over Juan Pablo II College at Estadio Huancayo, a result that was dictated by a commanding and unrewarded shooting advantage. The home side registered 15 total shots to the visitors' three, putting seven on target to just one. The Lemeister model had given Sport Huancayo a 40 per cent chance of winning, with the final score matching its projected 2-1 outcome.
The opening goal arrived in the 20th minute. J. Sanguinetti found the net for Sport Huancayo, with the assist credited to P. Magallanes in a normal goal. Juan Pablo II College responded before the interval, equalising in the 45th minute through M. Alaniz, who was assisted by C. Tizon, also a normal goal. The balance was restored in the 65th minute when P. Magallanes converted a penalty to put the home side back ahead. Those three goals from 18 total attempts illustrate a match where finishing was opportunistic rather than prolific.
Possession was with Sport Huancayo at 56 per cent to 44, and the disparity in passing accuracy was similar. The home side completed 303 of 366 passes for an 83 per cent success rate; their opponents managed 213 from 280 at 76 per cent. The expected goals data is not available, but the shot counts alone point to a clear territorial and creative advantage. Sport Huancayo generated eight shots from inside the box and seven from outside, while Juan Pablo II College managed just two inside and one outside. The home side also forced five saves from the Juan Pablo II goalkeeper, while the home goalkeeper was not called upon to make any. That save count of five, combined with the home side's seven shots on target, suggests that Juan Pablo II College's goalkeeper kept the scoreline from becoming more emphatic.
Discipline was reasonably even, though Juan Pablo II College collected two yellow cards to Sport Huancayo's one. Cristian García was booked in the 45th minute, Martín Alaníz in the 81st, and Jimmy Valoyes of the home side in the 87th. The offside count heavily favoured the home side, who were flagged seven times to the visitors' two, reflecting their greater willingness to push forward and commit numbers into attacking areas. That willingness came at a cost, but the reward of two goals justified the aggressive approach.
With no match ratings provided in the data, the standout performers are the goal scorers. J. Sanguinetti provided the opener and P. Magallanes both converted the penalty and supplied the assist for Sanguinetti's goal, making a direct contribution to both of his side's strikes. For the visitors, M. Alaniz scored and C. Tizon provided the assist. The home side's substitutes made an impact, with five changes used against four from the visitors, though the data does not specify which ones entered the field.
The win in the Apertura's 14th round gives Sport Huancayo a valuable three points as they continue to build their campaign in the Primera División. Their dominance in shots, possession and passing accuracy suggests a performance that merited victory, even if the margin was narrow. Juan Pablo II College will be left to regret their lack of attacking output; having generated only a single shot on target across the match, their goal from M. Alaniz represented almost all of their threat. The home side's ability to turn their overwhelming shot volume into goals was the decisive factor, with the penalty from Magallanes providing the winning margin that the balance of play deserved.
