In a thrilling encounter at the Estadio Ciudad de Cumana, Ayacucho FC overcame Deportivo Garcilaso with a resounding 4-2 victory that not only relieved some pressure on the hosts but also showcased the unpredictable nature of the Primera División. The match, held on October 25, 2025, saw the struggling Ayacucho side, sitting at the bottom of the table, rise to the occasion against a Garcilaso team that had ambitions of climbing higher in the standings.

The scoring began early, with Hideyoshi Arakaki finding the net in the 19th minute, sending the home fans into raptures. Just six minutes later, Franco Caballero doubled Ayacucho's lead, and the hosts were on a roll. It was a promising start that belied the dire form that had seen them win only three times prior this season. Amidst their current struggles, they had shown signs of life, and the early strikes were a testament to their determination to kickstart a resurgence.

However, the match quickly took a chaotic turn. Just moments after Caballero's goal, red cards were brandished to Orlando Nuñez and Juan Lucumí, who both saw their evenings cut short. The disruption seemed to galvanize Ayacucho, allowing them to maintain their composure and even extend their lead in the second half when Maximiliano Perez scored in the 68th minute.

Despite being down a man, Deportivo Garcilaso would not go quietly. After a controversial penalty awarded for a foul, Ezequiel Naya stepped up to convert from the spot in the 77th minute, giving the visitors a glimmer of hope. He soon followed it up with another goal just six minutes later, drawing Garcilaso within striking distance. The pressure was palpable as the game entered its final minutes, with the score now sitting at 3-2.

Yet, just when the visitors seemed poised for a dramatic equalizer, the resilient Ayacucho side struck back. Derlis Orue sealed the deal in the 90th minute, ensuring a 4-2 victory that rang like a siren of hope for the struggling hosts.

This result is significant for Ayacucho FC, who now sit in 17th place with 11 points, adding crucial momentum to their campaign. For Deportivo Garcilaso, currently in 8th place with 21 points, the defeat raises questions about their ability to mount a serious challenge for the upper echelons of the league table after a disheartening recent form.

As the season unfolds, Ayacucho must build on this momentum to claw their way out of relegation trouble, while Garcilaso needs to rethink their strategy to rediscover the form that once promised a brighter future. In the beautiful game, one match can indeed redefine the narrative, and for Ayacucho FC, this hard-fought victory was perhaps just the beginning of a climb back to relevance.
