San Martin de Porres

Universidad San Martin de Porres travelled from Lima to Cusco to beat Cienciano 0-1. Alianza Lima could only draw but it takes them level at the top with Cienciano. Alianza Lima's arch rivals La U's go 3rd.




San Martín de Porres, a 16th century Dominican friar was born in Lima, the illegitimate son of a Spanish nobleman and a young freed slave woman from Panama. He grew up in poverty and was taken in by the Dominicans as a servant and apprentice barber- he's the patron saint of Barbers!
