Juan Manuel Vargas returns to Universitario de Deportes and scores a goal

Juan Manuel Vargas returned to the starting lineup and did it with a great free kick goal. The 'Loco' contributed to Universitario de Deportes' victory against Ayacucho FC.

“The talent remains, what I lack is air,” said 'Loco' Vargas, who played 65 minutes of the match held at the Monumental stadium in Ate. He was then replaced by Joaquín Aguirre.

Juan Manuel Vargas returned as a midfielder, and here is the analysis of his performance against Ayacucho FC.

"I have until August 31st and I want to have fun, then we'll see what happens," added Juan Manuel Vargas after the match at the Monumental stadium. The 'Loco' extended his contract until that date with a salary cut. Universitario de Deportes has not yet commented on a possible contract extension.

Universitario de Deportes is the temporary leader of the Torneo Apertura. In the next round, 'U' will face UTC in Cajamarca. Since UTC was promoted in 2013, Universitario de Deportes has visited them nine times, winning one game, drawing two, and losing six.

So far this year, UTC has not been defeated in Cajamarca. On Sunday, August 6th (3:30 pm), Universitario de Deportes will try to break that streak.
