Tactical Analysis

Deportivo Llacuabamba employed a high‑press strategy that stifled Vallejo’s build‑up play from the back. The midfield trio of Suárez, Pedro Rojas and Luis Cárdenas controlled the centre of the pitch, allowing full‑backs to push forward and create overloads.

Midfielder José Suárez earned man‑of‑the‑match honours for his complete performance – breaking up play, distributing accurately, and even hitting the crossbar with a long‑range effort. For Vallejo, goalkeeper Miguel Ángel prevented an even bigger defeat with several saves.

League Impact
