sporting cristal - adt turned on one early finish at the Alberto Gallardo. Jordan Guivin scored in the 13th minute, and ADT led 1-0 in the first half of Liga 1’s Torneo Apertura de Liga 1 2026 on jornada 16.
That goal changed the match state quickly for Sporting Cristal, who were trying to move out of the lower places in the tournament. At home, they had already seen a first-minute chance from Martín Távara and another opening through Gustavo Cazonatti, but ADT’s strike gave the visitors the edge they needed.
Guivin Finishes In The Area
Guivin settled the decisive move with a finish from the heart of Sporting Cristal’s penalty area. The live update on the goal read: “¡GOOOOOL de ADT! Marcó Jordan Guivin con gran definición desde el corazón del área de Sporting Cristal. La visita se impone 1-0 en el Gallardo.”
ADT had arrived at the Gallardo with Juan Valencia, Carlos Cabello, John Narváez, Jhair Soto, Josué Alvino, Ángel Ojeda, Guivin, Víctor Cedrón, Luis Benites, Joao Rojas and Jonathan Bauman in the starting lineup. The goal came after a start in which neither side found a clean finish, even as the game opened with chances at both ends.
Sporting Cristal’s Early Chances
Távara nearly put Sporting Cristal ahead in the first minute, but the ball hit teammate Gabriel Santana instead of reaching the net. In the seventh minute, Cazonatti headed a ball from the middle of ADT’s area and sent it wide.
Two minutes later, Santana sent in a dangerous cross and Cazonatti could not steer it on target. Those misses left Cristal chasing the game at home, and the pressure increased after Felipe Vizeu was injured during the warm-up and did not start.
Cristal’s Lineup And Pressure
Sporting Cristal’s starting group included Diego Enríquez, Leandro Sosa, Miguel Araujo, Rafael Lutiger, Cristiano da Silva, Cazonatti, Yoshimar Yotún, Martín Távara, Maxloren Castro, Santana and Irven Ávila. Enríquez, in goal, had little margin after ADT’s opener in a match that had been framed by Cristal’s need for points.
The first half left Cristal with the harder task at the Gallardo. They had the home ground, the crowd, and several early openings, but Guivin’s 13th-minute goal put ADT in front and forced the hosts to answer from behind.
