Primera División Peruana 2006

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2006 season of the Primera División Peruana, the top category of Peruvian football (soccer), was played by 12 teams. The national champions were Alianza Lima.

The national championship was divided into two half-year tournaments, the Apertura and the Clausura. Each was played on a home-and-away round-robin basis. The winners of each would play for the national title in a playoff, but each team had to finish in the top 6 in both tournaments to earn the right to play the final. If the same club had won both tournaments, it would have won the national championship automatically. Following-season Copa Libertadores berths went to each half-year tournament winner, and the best of the other teams in the aggregate table. The next best two teams earned berths for the Copa Sudamericana. The bottom two teams in the aggregate table were relegated, with a playoff needed to determine one of the relegated teams following a tie in aggregate points.

[edit] Clásico

This season Alianza Lima and Universitario de Deportes tied on points and goals, while playing each other in the Peruvian derby El Super Clásico Peruano. Alianza Lima, however, was more successful because they qualified for the more competitive international tournament of South America, the Copa Libertadores 2007 while Universitario qualified for the lesser competitive Copa Sudamericana 2007. Neither team lost as the home team that year. Both games in the Apertura tournament resulted in draws, 1-1. In the Clausura tournament, Alianza won their home game 1-0 at the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva. Universitario also won their home game at the Estadio Nacional 3-2 in an exciting game which had a 3-0 lead during the first-half for Universitario. Security issues prevented Universitario from using their home ground, the Estadio Monumental.
