| Asociacion Deportiva Tarma | Binacional | 2025-04-13 | Primera Division Apertura | 1-1 (Draw) |
Binacional have been struggling to find consistency but managed a solid away win against Deportivo Garcilaso. Their defence has been leaky with just one clean sheet, and their attack, though decent, isn’t quite firing on all cylinders. Coach Claudio Bustamante will be looking for a stronger showing at home to climb up the table.
Binacional Key Players
For Binacional, Roger Torres stands out as the key player to watch. With 3 goals this season, he’s their top scorer and a crucial part of their attack. Another essential figure is goalkeeper Angel Azurin, who will be tasked with keeping Cienciano’s potent offense at bay.
The midfield battle will be intriguing with Edson Diego Aubert pulling the strings for Binacional. His playmaking abilities could be decisive if he can find space to operate.
Key individual battles to watch include Marlon Torres squaring up against Cienciano’s robust center-back Jimmy Valoyes.
Expected lineup for Binacional:
- Goalkeeper: Angel Azurin
- Defenders: Hairo Timaná, Nicolas Rodriguez, Carlos Perez, Arthur Gutiérrez
- Midfielders: Roger Torres, Yorkman Tello, Juan Pablo Carranza, Edson Diego Aubert, Abraham Aguinaga
- Forward: Marlon Torres
Binacional Suspensions & Injuries
Binacional is heading into this match with a clean bill of health and no suspensions to report. This means Claudio Bustamante will have his full squad at his disposal, a crucial advantage as they look to improve their position in the league.
Having no injuries or suspensions allows Bustamante the flexibility to deploy his best lineup and adjust tactics as needed. This should provide Binacional with a slight edge, particularly in a tightly contested match where every player’s availability can make a difference.
Binacional Tactics and Formation
Binacional Tactical Breakdown:
- Formation: 4-2-3-1
- Key Forward: Marlon Torres
- Creative Hub: Roger Torres
- Defensive Core: Angel Azurin (Goalkeeper), Nicolás RodrÃguez (Centre-Back), Carlos Pérez (Centre-Back)
- Notable Strategy: Utilizes wingers for pace and penetration down the flanks, feeding crosses into the box.
Binacional’s recent tactics have focused on a balanced approach, with a strong backline and a dual defensive midfield to shield the defense. The presence of Roger Torres in midfield provides creative flair, aiming to link up with Marlon Torres up front. Claudio Bustamante’s side is expected to press higher up the pitch, especially in their attacking third, trying to capitalize on Cienciano’s occasional defensive lapses.
While they have only one clean sheet in their last five games, their defensive formation means they will be structured yet ready to exploit counter-attacks effectively on the break.

- Defenders: Pedro Ibanez, Maximiliano Amondarain, Jimmy Valoyes, Sebastian Cavero
- Midfielders: Luis Benites, Alfredo Sebastián Ramúa, Cristian Neira, Adrian Ascues, Rudy Palomino
- Centre-forward: Didier La Torre

Their absences could affect Cienciano’s attacking options and creativity. Additionally, defender Leonel Galeano is suspended for this match due to card accumulation, depleting their defensive setup further. These missing players create challenges for coach Carlos Desio as he adjusts his tactics and lineup against Binacional.

- Formation: 4-2-3-1
- Key Forward: Didier La Torre is expected to lead the line in Garces’s absence.
- Midfield Trio: Luis Benites and Alfredo Sebastián Ramúa will anchor the midfield, providing stability, while Adrián Ascues will play a crucial role as the attacking midfielder.
- Defensive Setup: With Ignacio Barrios in goal and a potentially solid backline featuring Pedro Ibáñez, Maximiliano Amondarain, Jimmy Valoyes, and Sebastián Cavero, Cienciano aims to remain tight at the back.
- Notable Strategy: They may adopt a balanced approach, with a focus on quick transitions and utilizing the pace on the wings from Cristian Neira and Rudy Palomino. Their effective wide play and crossing could capitalize on Binacional’s defensive vulnerabilities.
Cienciano will need to adapt with key absences but have shown resilience and tactical flexibility under coach Carlos Desio.
