Summary and lineups of Universitario vs. Goiás
On Tuesday, May 23, Universitario de Deportes faced Goiás again, just like they did in the 2nd round of the group stage of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana. Jorge Fossati's team prepared intensively for the game in Brazil, since -on paper- the visit to Goiania was the toughest in the group stage. Throughout the match, 'U' deserved better luck, but a great goal from Apodi (89') gave three points to the Brazilian team, which takes the first place in Group G. Universitario, on the other hand, remains in qualification positions with seven points, three more than Independiente de Santa Fe, who lost 1-0 to Gimnasia in Argentina.
