The Uruguayan coach has credit with the fans, who have gradually witnessed the good results of the merengue defense in the local championship and the Copa Sudamericana. But the good present moment that is being experienced among the students could be disturbed by a negative streak against the 'cerveceros'.

It is important to remember that the last time Universitario de Deportes was able to defeat Sporting Cristal in the local tournament was in the Clausura Tournament of 2018, where they won 2-1 on matchday 11 on October 10. Since then, the fate of the modern classics has been characterized by a good number of draws and victories on the side of La Florida.

The last time Universitario beat Cristal was in the Clausura of 2018 by 2-1. Germán Denis scored the winning goal from a penalty kick.

If we are more accurate in terms of dates, we could assume that the cremas have not been able to get three points against the cerveceros for almost 5 years, which translates into 1636 days, something that worries the technical command of the former Uruguayan national team coach.
