Bottom club San Simon recorded their first Peruvian Primera Division win with a 2-0 triumph over Los Caimanes, ending a four-game losing streak.
With Universidad San Martin drawing 1-1 at UTC Cajamarca on Monday, San Simon remain a win away - plus goal difference - from leaving last spot in the standings but Jose Carlos Amaral's men at least got on the winner's list on the weekend, Soccerway reported.
San Simon won 2-0 at Los Caimanes to move to four points for the season from nine matches, ending a four-game losing streak.
Both sides forced their opposing goalkeepers into a number of saves in the first half at the Estadio Elias Aguirre on Sunday, but it was the visitors who opened the scoring after the break.
A free-kick floated forward by Gustavo Stagnaro was flicked into the net by the head of Matias Sen in the 75th minute.
Cesar Mayuri wrapped up the three points for San Simon nine minutes later, tucking away a one-on-one chance, although the 22-year-old midfielder appeared offside.
Universidad San Martin (seven points) remain ahead of San Simon in 15th position, while Cajamarca (eight) and Los Caimanes (nine) complete the bottom four clubs in the table.
