2008

The 2007 season of the Primera División Peruana, the top category of Peruvian football (soccer), was played by 12 teams. The national champion was Universidad San Martín de Porres.

The national championship was divided into two half-year tournaments, the Torneo Apertura and the Torneo 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 wins both tournaments, it would win the national championship automatically. Following-season Copa Libertadores berths go 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 regard to foreign players, Peruvians teams were limited to three players without Peruvian citizenship per game. For each game, the team presented a list of 18 players; 11 on the field and 7 on the bench. In that list, no more than 3 players could be foreign players.

[edit] Summary

Universidad San Martín de Porres won the Apertura, their first title, and qualified for their first Copa Libertadores. Coronel Bolognesi won the Clausura which was their first title too. In the Apertura they had placed last and were in danger of relegation. No national championship final was contested because Coronel Bolognesi did not finish in the top 6 of the Apertura. The national title went to Universidad San Martín, who had accumulated more points on the aggregate table. Coincidently, both teams also participated in the Copa Sudamericana together in 2006. The final fixture of the Clausura had four potential winners. Aside from Bolognesi, Universitario de Deportes, Alianza Lima, Cienciano, and Sport Áncash had a chance at winning the title. They all won their last fixtures, however, Bolognesi also won its fixture and surpassed Universitario by one point. Despite not winning the Clausura, Cienciano qualified for the Copa Libertadores 2008 Preliminary Round, and Universitario and Sport Ancash qualified for the Copa Sudamericana 2008. Alianza Lima, however, finished the season empty-handed.

Sporting Cristal, a Peruvian giant, was in danger of relegation throughout the season. This was Cristal's worst season in its history. The team failed in the Apertura under the Argentine Sampaoli and the club decided to hire Juan Carlos Oblitas for the Clausura. At first he did not have much success but during the second-half of the Clausura, they were undefeated for the remaining 11 games with 5 wins and 6 draws. Cristal finished tying the last fixture and remained in the First Division. The newly-promoted Deportivo Municipal and Total Clean were relegated. Deportivo Municipal played its last fixture with its U-20 squad and as a result, Alianza Lima defeated them 6-0. The first-team squad did not play because the club did not pay them for several months.

[edit] Final playoff

No final playoff was played since neither the Apertura winners Universidad San Martín de Porres nor the Clausura winners Coronel Bolognesi finished in the top 6 of the tournament they did not win. Therefore, San Martín won the national title due to its better aggregate record.

[edit] Clásico

This season Alianza Lima was more successful against Universitario de Deportes in the Peruvian derby known as the Peruvian Super Classic. They played four times throughout the season, twice in the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva, once in the Estadio Nacional, and once in the Estadio Manuel Rivera Sanchez. Universitario chose to play in the Estadio Nacional (Apertura) and Estadio Manuel Rivera Sanchez (Clausura) as the home team because the Peruvian authorities did not allow the game to be played in the Estadio Monumental due to security issues. Neither team won their home games and Universitario lost both games as the home team. Universitario's win at Alianza's stadium was the first time in three years; the last being in the 2004 Clausura where they won 0-2. Despite the result favoring Alianza, Universitario qualified for the Copa Sudamericana 2008 while Alianza Lima fell short two points from Universitario.
