JULIACA, Peru (Interstat) — Deportivo Binacional earned a decisive 5-3 victory over Sport Huancayo in a Peruvian Primera División match Sunday at Estadio Guillermo Briceño Rosamedina.

The match defied a pregame projection that favored the visitors. Binacional’s Brandon Palacios led the attack with two goals and an assist. Yonatan Murillo, Andy Polar and Brayan Fernández also scored for the hosts.

Sport Huancayo, which fell behind early, got goals from Ronal Huaccha, Carlos Jiménez and Marcos Lliuya but could not overcome the deficit. The result gives Binacional a winning start to the league season, while Huancayo begins with a loss.

The game featured eight total goals and four yellow cards. Binacional next plays at Academia Cantolao on Dec. 20.
