Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima

The two teams face each other again in a rematch. The cream team will receive the intimates at Monumental Stadium, but before the match starts, Angel Comizzo made a request for the field to look like a 'carpet' before kick-off.

Almost an hour before the classic, the reserve teams of both clubs played on the field, which could have been affected by the players' studs. Given this scenario, the merengue coach asked for a roller to go over the field in order to settle it before the match.

Universitario arrived at Monumental shortly after the team led by Pablo Bengoechea. Both squads chose not to talk to the press upon arrival, instead they arrived in Ate very focused for this match.

Alianza Lima would have a quite offensive lineup in order to secure the result in their favor. Pedro Gallese would stay in goal, while Adrián Balboa and Federico Rodríguez would be in the attacking line. On the other hand, Ángel Comizzo would place Anthony Osorio as the sole striker, while Alejandro Hohberg and Alberto Quintero as wingers.

Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima will face each other this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. at Monumental Stadium, for the ninth round of the Clausura Tournament. The cream team took victory in the first classic of the year, with a resounding 3-2 at Matute, so the intimate team could seek revenge.
