Christian Ortiz y Alberto Quintero fueron los encargados de marcar los goles para Universitario en su victoria 2-0 sobre Huancayo en el partido pendiente de la fecha 6 del Clausura. A continuación, puedes ver los goles y las mejores jugadas del partido en el siguiente video.

Universitario de Deportes defeated Sport Huancayo 2-0 in the Monumental Stadium in a rescheduled match valid for the sixth round of the Clausura Tournament. The cream team struggled to find the difference, but now they are in third place in the standings.

The 'U' has world-class players in their squad and that, in such close matches like today, can make a difference. This time, Sport Huancayo put up a tough resistance, but the cream team came out victorious thanks to their Panamanian players.

After a very disputed first half, the cream team attacked relentlessly in the final part and it would be Luis Tejada who opened the scoring after taking advantage of a rebound from Joel Pinto in the 55th minute.

The cream team struck at the right moment in the match, making it easier for them to reach a Huancayo team that already had the obligation to change its initial approach and seek the equalizer.

In this way, in the 70th minute, Alberto Quintero took advantage of a great cross from Roberto Siucho to show that he is not 'small' and beat the visiting goal with a powerful header.

There was no time for more and Troglio's team not only achieved their fourth consecutive victory, they also moved up to third place and will arrive strong at the final next Saturday in Cusco against the leader, Real Garcilaso.

If you are a cream fan and also not very observant, you surely felt discouraged when you bought your Depor and saw the standings. Despite winning their last 3 games, Troglio's team only has 11 points and, being far from Garcilaso's 22, the title would seem crazy.

If you felt this way, don't worry. Sometimes things are not what they seem and even though Universitario de Deportes may seem far away now, this can quickly be reversed. This Wednesday, for example, the cream team will play one of the 3 pending matches they have.

Facing Sport Huancayo at the Monumental Stadium, Troglio's team will have a great chance to win again in front of their fans and start breathing down the neck of their Cusco rival.

'He went crazy' in defense.

For this match, once again, Juan Manuel Vargas will be the team's captain, but he will do it from the central defense of the cream team. Due to the injuries of Alberto Rodríguez and Horacio Benincasa (regular starters), Vargas and Galliquio will be in charge of leading the defense.

Also, in this match, Arquímedes Figuera will return to the starting lineup and Alexi Gómez will play as an inside midfielder. Meanwhile, Luis Tejada will be in charge of leading the attacking line.

Juan Vargas to Roberto Siucho: "Do you score a goal and already give interviews?"

On the Sport Huancayo side, the situation is a bit more complicated, but they still have hope of winning in Ate and starting to climb the standings.

Possible lineups:

Universitario de Deportes (Confirmed): Carlos Cáceda, Aldo Corzo, John Galliquio, Juan Vargas, Jersson Vásquez, Arquímedes Figuera, Emanuel Páucar, Alexi Gómez, Alberto Quintero, Roberto Siucho, and Luis Tejada.
