Cienciano 1–1 Cultural Santa Rosa

Cienciano and Cultural Santa Rosa shared the points in a Primera División draw that neither side could really afford. Michael Kaufman broke the deadlock for the hosts in the 54th minute, only for Kenji Barrios to pull Cultural Santa Rosa level 20 minutes later and snatch a point back. Both clubs arrived in need of a lift: Cienciano sit seventh with a 1-1-3 record and a stumbling LWLLD run, while Cultural Santa Rosa, one place above in sixth, haven't won in five and dragged their winless streak into this one too. Their head-to-head history offered no comfort either, with Cienciano still searching for a win in this fixture after last time out. Neither Kaufman nor Barrios features among the league's top scorers, who remain chasing E. Castillo's 20-goal season, but for 20 second-half minutes each man was the biggest name on the pitch. Watch how Kaufman's 54th-minute strike and Barrios's leveler 20 minutes later played out, two goals that mattered more to survival than to any scoring charts.
