They overcame their rivals in the Round of 16 and the quarter-finals but fell toHijos de Acosvinchosin the semifinals. The following season they again reached the regional stage of the2007 Copa Perúand finished first. This time, however, they achieved promotion to the2008 Torneo Descentralizadoby advancing to and winning the finals. Baldessari, as in 1993, led the team and defeatedSport Águilain the finals in a penalty shootout.
First seasons of professional football
[edit]Their first season in the first division was not remarkable. In the Torneo Apertura, they finished eighth and in the Torneo Clausura they finished twelfth. Consequently, the club finished twelfth on the aggregate table and tied on points withAtlético Minero,which finished thirteenth. The two teams played an extra match to determine the relegated team.[3]Juan Aurich defeated Atlético Minero 2–1 and remained in the first division.
In the2009 Torneo Descentralizado,the club made a huge improvement with managerFranco Navarro.They finished first in the first stage of the season and were one of the favorites to reach the finals. As leading team of the first stage, they started first in their group of the second stage. However, in October, two months before the end of the season, the club and Navarro terminated the manager's contract.[4]The club hiredLuis Fernando Suárezto finish coaching what was left of the season.[5]Alianza Lima,which was second of the group at the start of second stage, surpassed Juan Aurich and failed to advance to the finals. At the end of the season the club finished third on the aggregate table, qualifying for the2010 Copa Libertadores.
The club continued with Suárez into the 2010 season, which began on a high note after they eliminatedEstudiantes Tecosin the first stage of the2010 Copa Libertadores.They advanced to Group 3 of the competition with Copa Libertadores defending championsEstudiantes de La Plata,Alianza Lima,andBolívar.They did not advance to the following stage as they finished third behind Estudiantes and Alianza Lima. In the2010 Torneo Descentralizadothe club's performance suffered which led to Suárez's exit from the club but they managed to obtain the last berth to the2011 Copa SudamericanaunderJuan Reynoso.[6][7]In mid-2010 he becameAnonymous Society.
First professional title
[edit]The following season they achieved their greatest success yet. The club started by hiring ColombianDiego Umañaafter Reynoso resigned from the managing position.[8][9]Under Umaña's direction, they returned as contenders for the title and successfully reached the finals of the2011 Torneo Descentralizado.They lost the first leg at home 1–2 againstAlianza Limaand were in danger of losing the chance to win their first professional championship. Surprisingly, in the second leg they held their own against Alianza at theEstadio Alejandro Villanuevaand achieved a narrow 1–0 win with a memorable goal fromYsrael Zúñigain the second half.[10]As both teams had won a match of the finals, a third leg was forced to be played in theEstadio Nacional.A scoreless draw at the Nacional led to a penalty shootout. The final score of the shootout was 3–1 in favor of Juan Aurich.[2]They were the first club outside theLima Regionto win the Torneo Descentralizado sinceFBC Melgarin 1981.
