Alianza Universidad dominates, but fails to convert, against a defensive Atlético Grau in Huánuco
Alianza Universidad defeated Atlético Grau 2-0 in a match played at the Estadio Heraclio Tapia León in Huánuco on April 18th, 2025, corresponding to matchday 9 of the Peruvian Primera División Apertura. Despite clear superiority in possession (52% to 48%) and shots on target (5 to 0), the home team had to fight to overcome a well-organized Atlético Grau defense. Alianza Universidad generated 19 shots, but only 5 were on target. Their lack of clinical finishing was reflected in the scoreline, which suggests a closer victory than the territorial dominance would indicate. Atlético Grau, on the other hand, showed little attacking initiative, managing only 6 shots, none of which were on target. A yellow card to an Alianza Universidad player was the only significant disciplinary incident of the match. The referee was Kevin Ortega (Peru).
