University had 18 shots, with 6 of them on target, while Santa Fe only had 6 shots, with only 3 of them on goal against José Carvallo. Additionally, 'U' had 7 corners in the 90 minutes, while the visiting team only had one opportunity from a corner. These statistics demonstrate the great dominance that Universitario de Deportes had.
That's why 'Palabra de Gol', a sports media outlet from Colombia, was direct about the performance of Santa Fe, stating that they "gave up" from the beginning.
"Triumph for University as expected. They surpassed Santa Fe in intensity and gameplay. The opposing team, on the other hand, looked surrendered from the beginning and their reaction was limited to few shallow and predictable attacks. The 'cremas' consolidated their leadership," wrote the aforementioned Colombian media outlet.
Andy Polo highlights Jorge Fossati's quality
After the match, the right winger of Universitario was asked about the work being done by Jorge Fossati, the great architect of the moment of grace that the 'merengues' are going through. "We know the kind of coach he is, world-class. We know about all his hierarchy, so we have confidence to play the game he wants and everything is going as we expect," said Andy Polo to DIRECTV Sports.
