Universitario and Santa Fe faced each other on Thursday, June 8th for the fifth matchday of Group G in the 2023 Copa Sudamericana. Although the 'cremas' started the match with a proactive idea, Nelson Cabanillas' red card in the 12th minute changed Jorge Fossati's plans. The 'Cardenales' took advantage of that and quickly found the lead through Hugo Rodallega in the 27th minute. The situation did not change for the 'U' in the second half, and the Colombian team extended their advantage with a good finish from Neyder Moreno in the 78th minute. Now, Ate's team is obligated to defeat Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata in the last matchday of this group stage, with the possibility of finishing first if Goiás loses to Santa Fe in Colombia.
