ADT struck first against Sporting Cristal at the Alberto Gallardo stadium, with Jordan Guivin scoring from the heart of the area in the 13th minute to put the visitors ahead 1-0 in matchday 16 of the 2026 Liga 1 Torneo Apertura.

The goal came after Sporting Cristal had started brightly and was already trying to move away from the lower places in the 2026 Torneo Apertura. Martín Távara nearly opened the scoring in the first minute, but the ball hit teammate Gabriel Santana, and the hosts kept pressing with an early header from Gustavo Cazonatti that went wide in the seventh minute.

Before kickoff, Sporting Cristal’s players were already at the stadium and the locker room had the uniforms ready, while the match was set to begin after the source said the game was ready to start. The home side lined up with Diego Enríquez, Leandro Sosa, Miguel Araujo, Rafael Lutiger, Cristiano da Silva, Gustavo Cazonatti, Yoshimar Yotún, Martín Távara, Maxloren Castro, Gabriel Santana and Irven Ávila, but Felipe Vizeu was injured during warmups and did not feature.

ADT, meanwhile, entered with Juan Valencia, Carlos Cabello, John Narváez, Jhair Soto, Josué Alvino, Ángel Ojeda, Jordan Guivin, Víctor Cedrón, Luis Benites, Joao Rojas and Jonathan Bauman, and it took only one clear opening for Guivin to punish Sporting Cristal’s back line. Santana had sent in a dangerous cross in the ninth minute, but Cazonatti could not redirect it, and that miss was quickly followed by the finish that changed the tone of the afternoon.

This was still only the opening stretch of a live match update, so the score line reflected the first major action rather than the final shape of the contest. For Sporting Cristal, the concern was immediate: a team trying to climb out of the lower positions in the Torneo Apertura had already been forced to chase the game before the first quarter-hour was complete.
