Carlos Mannucci 1–0 Deportivo Llacuabamba | Peruvian Liga 2 | July 19, 2026

Carlos Mannucci edged past Deportivo Llacuabamba with a 1–0 victory at the Estadio Mansiche in Trujillo, claiming a hard-fought three points that keeps them in the hunt for a promotion playoff spot. The match, played in humid conditions, was decided by a solitary goal in the first half.

How the Goal Came

The decisive moment arrived in the 31st minute. Mannucci’s Ángel Ojeda weaved past two defenders on the left flank before delivering a low cross that was turned home by striker Luis Tejada. The goal was Tejada’s fourth of the season, making him the club’s top scorer in the Peruvian Liga 2 campaign.

Deportivo Llacuabamba struggled to create clear openings in the final third. Their best chance came in the 58th minute when a long-range effort from Leonardo Rojas forced a diving save from Mannucci goalkeeper Carlos Basadre. The visitors pushed for an equalizer in the closing stages, but Mannucci’s backline, marshaled by captain Diego Álvarez, held firm.

Tactical Battle

Carlos Mannucci set up in a compact 4–4–2, pressing high when Llacuabamba tried to play out from the back. The strategy paid off, as many of the visitors’ turnovers occurred in their own half. Llacuabamba shifted to a more direct approach in the second half but lacked the precision to break down a well-organized defense.

Standings Picture

The win lifts Carlos Mannucci to third place in the Liga 2 standings, now level on points with the second‑placed team. Deportivo Llacuabamba remain in the bottom half of the table, six points adrift of the playoff zone. With the season entering its critical phase, Mannucci’s home form will be crucial—they have now won four of their last five home matches.
