This match between Deportivo Garcilaso and FBC Melgar on July 1st, 2023, certainly held all the tension, drama, and spectacular plays we expect from a Liga 1 match.

Starting strong, FBC Melgar quickly scored two goals within the first 10 minutes of the match, stunning the home side. Their third-minute goal was a notably quick advantage that put pressure on Deportivo Garcilaso right from the outset.

Despite the early setback, Deportivo Garcilaso displayed tremendous spirit and determination. Their comeback commenced with a much-needed goal at the 17-minute mark of the first half bringing the score to 1-2.

However, the level of aggression displayed throughout the match cannot be ignored. A total of 7 yellow cards were distributed among the teams: making for an intense and contentious game. Deportivo Garcilaso received three yellow cards within the first half, an indication of their desperate attempts to regain control of the match.
