The illusion took hold of the fans of Universitario de Deportes , as the cream team, sole leader of the Torneo Clausura of the Liga 1 Betsson with 36 points, has the first option to become the winner of the second tournament of the year, and thus obtain the right to dispute the final for the national title of the Liga 1 Betsson against Alianza Lima.
Despite the 1-1 draw obtained against Cusco FC as a visitor, the team led by Uruguayan Jorge Fossati depends on itself to win the Clausura title.

In the next match, which will be the last of the tournament, the 'U' will receive Sport Huancayo (sixth with 29 points) at the Monumental Stadium in Ate. That and the rest of the matches of matchday 19 would be played simultaneously on Sunday, October 29 at 3 p.m.
The creams only need to win by any score to be crowned winners of the Clausura Tournament and advance to the final for the absolute title of the Liga 1 Betsson against Alianza Lima.
What happens if 'U' draws or loses?
If that happens, it will still have the chance to win the Clausura, as long as its closest pursuers, Melgar (35), Alianza Lima (34), and Sporting Cristal (33), do not win their matches.
