Overview
- The Liga 1 Apertura match, which kicks off Sunday at 1:15 p.m. in Peru, airs on L1 MAX.
- Most outlets list Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega in Cusco, though an El Comercio line lists Unión Tarma, creating a venue inconsistency.
- Micke Palomino Huaminí is assigned as the referee for the fixture.
- Deportivo Garcilaso comes off a 2-1 win over Alianza Atlético and sits sixth with 21 points, while UTC is 13th with 16 after a 2-1 loss to FC Cajamarca.
- Playing at altitude in Cusco often favors the hosts, a factor Garcilaso aims to use against a UTC side traveling from Cajamarca.
