The problems started when Felipe Augusto scored the only goal of the match. One of those responsible was Alfonso Barco, who, not being attentive to the play, allowed the 'Timao' player to score for his team after quickly eluding the marking of the student team player.
Andy Polo and Aldo Corzo, two historical players of the 'Merengue' team, could not contain their anger and lashed out at the Universitario midfielder for his lack of aggressiveness in marking.
On social media, many fans of the crema team blame 'Fonchi' for Renato Augusto's goal, to the point that they prefer that strategist Jorge Fossati does not play him in the second leg.
Alex Valera misses the second leg match
As it is already known, Alex Valera will not be able to play in the second leg match against Corinthians at the Monumental, due to a strong tackle he committed in the 73rd minute.
