Sport Boys form and stats

Sport Boys are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Primera Division, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Boys have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 185 minutes ago. L. Ramirez was the goal scorer.

Midfield player Tarek Carranza was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.61/10. Carranza hit six key passes, dribled passed the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 54 successful passes (of 67 total).

A draw for Boys before that, at their own venue hosting Alianza Lima (0-0).

Sport Boys have the goal stats of 2-3 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head
