On 6 June 2026, CEENYOUNG F.C hosted SP Cristal at the Complejo Deportivo CEENYOUNG in a league encounter that kicked off at 4:00pm. The home side were defeated 5-2 in a match that saw defensive frailties exploited and a flurry of goals from the visitors. Despite a spirited fightback in the second half, CEENYOUNG F.C were unable to stem the tide of SP Cristal’s attacking prowess.

CEENYOUNG F.C lined up in a 4-1-2-3 formation, deploying Brayan Mosquera in goal. The defensive line consisted of Carlos Urbina at right back, Jonil Castillo and Luis Espinoza as central defenders, and Roberto Herrera on the left. Santiago Ruiz operated as the lone holding midfielder, tasked with shielding the back four. Ahead of him, Miguel Maguilbray took up the right attacking midfield role while Carlos Díaz occupied the left attacking midfield position. The front three featured Yorman Torres on the right wing, Pedro Piña as the central striker, and Moises Chiquito on the left forward spot. The substitutes available were Victor García, Luis Cespedes, Brayan Arevalo, Jhunior Torrealba, Jose Urbina, and Santiago Castillo.

The match began with early signs of trouble for CEENYOUNG F.C as Carlos Urbina committed a foul in the sixth minute, setting a physical tone. Just three minutes later, Roberto Herrera was penalised for a charge inside the box, conceding a penalty to SP Cristal. The visitors made no mistake from the spot, taking the lead in the 10th minute. Five minutes on, SP Cristal doubled their advantage with a well-taken goal, capitalising on the home side’s unsettled defence.

CEENYOUNG’s troubles continued as Yorman Torres misfired a pass in the 15th minute, losing possession in a dangerous area. Carlos Urbina showed some resilience with a timely defensive intervention in the 19th minute, but Herrera’s woes compounded when he received a yellow card for a foul in the 20th minute. This prompted a tactical substitution immediately after, with Victor García replacing Herrera to shore up the left side of defence.

The midfield battle was disrupted further when Santiago Ruiz misplaced a pass in the 24th minute, gifting possession to the visitors. Miguel Maguilbray tested the opposition goalkeeper with a shot on target in the 30th minute, but it was comfortably saved. SP Cristal extended their lead in the same minute with a goal from inside the box, exploiting gaps in CEENYOUNG’s defensive organisation. Urbina again demonstrated defensive commitment with a block in the 35th minute, but the home side were struggling to contain the visitors’ attacking threat.

The first half concluded with SP Cristal firmly in control at 3-0. After the break, CEENYOUNG F.C showed signs of revival when Pedro Piña capitalised on a defensive mistake to score in the 50th minute, pulling a goal back for the hosts. Carlos Urbina continued to defend stoutly, blocking an attempt in the 55th minute to prevent further damage.

However, discipline issues arose again as Luis Espinoza was booked for a bad tackle in the 69th minute. This led to a tactical change with Luis Cespedes coming on to replace Espinoza at the heart of defence. Almost immediately, CEENYOUNG’s attacking play bore fruit as Pedro Piña scored his second goal of the match in the 70th minute, assisted by a long pass from Yorman Torres, narrowing the deficit to 3-2. At the same time, Brayan Arevalo replaced Moises Chiquito on the left forward line to inject fresh legs.

The visitors responded swiftly, capitalising on another defensive error to restore their three-goal cushion in the 73rd minute. CEENYOUNG made further tactical substitutions with Jhunior Torrealba replacing Yorman Torres in the 75th minute and Jose Urbina coming on for Santiago Ruiz two minutes later, aiming to regain midfield control. SP Cristal sealed their victory with a fifth goal in the 80th minute, extending their dominance.

CEENYOUNG’s final substitution saw Santiago Castillo replace Carlos Díaz in the 80th minute as the home side sought to alter the course of the game. Despite their efforts, the visitors maintained control until the final whistle, securing a comprehensive 5-2 victory at the Complejo Deportivo CEENYOUNG.
