Carlos Beltrán struck Nelson Cabanillas in the face with his elbow. As a result, the midfielder received a yellow card in the Universitario de Deportes vs. Cienciano match for Liga 1.

About the 17th minute of the Universitario de Deportes vs. Cienciano match, an action took place that could have changed the history of the game. Carlos Beltrán, midfielder of the local team, directly hit Nelson Cabanillas, winger of the visitors, in the face with his elbow. Due to that action, the referee Jesús Cartagena showed a yellow card to the host.

Due to the force of the impact on the merengue player, goalkeeper José Carvallo and defender Nelinho Quina approached the referee to ask for explanations about the shown card. Meanwhile, the attacker of 'U' writhed in pain on the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega stadium field.

Cabanillas and Beltrán were competing for the ball near one of the sidelines of the field in Cusco. 'Che', with a past in Alianza Lima, was winning the duel, but in his eagerness to protect the ball, he raised his arm and hit the Universitario player. As a result, the imperials had the first cautioned player of the match for the 6th round of the Clausura.
