Universitario de Deportes defeated the leader of the Torneo Apertura Alianza Atlético de Sullana. It was by a total of 3-1 and in the course of the match, the team led by Jorge Araujo was superior, but there was an action that tipped the balance in favor of the home team, the expulsion of Jesús Arismendi, at least that's how Mario Viera saw it.

After the game, the coach of the Sullana team expressed dissatisfaction with the refereeing of Jesús Cartagena.
"In my opinion, it was an even game, there was no superiority, but it was in those specific plays where Universitario managed to equalize, through a penalty that I don't know if in other circumstances would have been called, but that gave them the equalizer and then a defensive error led to us conceding a goal," said Mario Viera.
"In the second half, the team came out to press and all the strange things that happen in the game, the way the referee handled it, the 'U' doesn't need refereeing like this. This gentleman has harmed us a lot in Cusco and now also on a tough field like this, having one less player harms you," he added.
At the end of the game against Universitario de Deportes, Mario Viera approached the main referee and let him know his feelings about how he conducted the match. "I feel harmed, this gentleman has harmed us a lot, not just now. We thought something like this could happen and it has happened, now we have to turn the page. I told him that his way of refereeing is sad, I didn't insult him, I told him that it was sad to see him referee like that."
