Domingo 07 de Agosto del 2022

Carlos Beltrán hit Nelson Cabanillas in the face with his elbow. Because of that action, the midfielder received a yellow card in the Universitario de Deportes vs. Cienciano match for Liga 1.

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

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

Cabanillas and Beltrán disputed 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 of that maneuver, the 'imperials' had the first cautioned player of the match in the 6th round of the Clausura.
