Sporting Cristal travel to Tarma to face ADT on Saturday, 7 November, in matchday 16 of the 2026 Torneo Clausura. The leaders need a win to stay in the title race with one round left before the final fixture.
Cristal arrive on the back of a big win
Sporting Cristal come into the game after one of their best performances of the season. On matchday 15 they thrashed FC Cajamarca 5-0 at the Alberto Gallardo, which took them back to the top of the Clausura table.
That victory lifted them to 31 points, level with Sport Huancayo, but with a superior goal difference. Before that, they had beaten Alianza Lima 3-2 on 29 October, with Santiago González scoring in the closing minutes.
Coach Roberto Mosquera will be hoping his side can maintain consistency in the final stretch of the campaign.
ADT fighting to avoid relegation
ADT are in a more precarious position. The Tarma side drew 2-2 with Comerciantes Unidos in their last outing, a result that stopped them from picking up a win that could have eased their situation. Earlier, they had beaten CD Moquegua 2-0.
Currently 15th with 30 points, ADT sit above CD Moquegua, FC Cajamarca and UTC, who occupy 16th, 17th and 18th. The two teams at the bottom of the aggregate table will be relegated, so every point carries weight for the home side.
Team news
Sporting Cristal have been dealt a late blow, with defender Rafael Lutiger ruled out of the squad because of a stomach problem. Cristal’s projected lineup features Renato Solís in goal, Hernán Barcos up front and Yoshimar Yotún in midfield, while ADT are expected to line up with Elías Ramos, Joaquín Pereyra and Horacio Benincasa in defence, and Juan Lucumí and Orlando Núñez in attack.
How to watch
The match kicks off at 13:00 local time in Peru at the Estadio Unión Tarma. It will be broadcast by L1 Max, with L1 Play and Movistar TV also showing the game in Peru.
Cristal’s remaining fixture includes a trip to the Alberto Gallardo to face Cienciano in matchday 17, with the date still to be confirmed.
