Good news just hours before the start of Universitario de Deportes vs. Corinthians . The "cremas" received an encouraging message ahead of the rematch against the Brazilian team for the Copa Sudamericana, after CONMEBOL confirmed that José Carvallo and Roberto Siucho will only have to serve a one-match suspension after the match against Gimnasia y Esgrima de La Plata, which ended in a fight on the field of play at the Monumental stadium.
In addition, Martín Pérez Guedes will also serve his suspension (for accumulation of yellow cards), so Jorge Fossati will have all three players at his disposal for the crucial match against Vanderlei Luxemburgo's team.
Universitario de Deportes chose Diego Romero to replace José Carvallo in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana Playoffs, while Jorge Murrugarra will take the place left by Martín Pérez Guedes after the sanctions received against the Argentine team.
It should be noted that the crema team presented a sufficiently well-founded defense so that the suspension of their players does not increase, an objective they achieved so that the Uruguayan coach can have all his pieces to continue advancing in the international tournament.
When will Universitario and Corinthians play the second leg
The rematch between Universitario and Corinthians will take place next Tuesday, May 18 at 7:30 pm (Peruvian time) at the Monumental stadium in Lima. The broadcast will be in charge of DIRECTV Sports, Star Plus, and Fútbol Libre for all countries in Latin America.
It should be noted that the "cremas" and the 'Timao' have already faced each other in the first leg of the Round of 16 Playoffs of the Copa Sudamericana, so they will seek to qualify next Tuesday to face Newell's from Argentina in the next round of the competition.
