This Sunday, September 4, Alianza Lima and Universitario will face each other in a new edition of the Peruvian football classic. During the week, there was a lot of talk about the possibility of Jefferson Farfán making a comeback. He played several times against 'U' before leaving abroad, where he played in the Netherlands, Germany, United Arab Emirates, and Russia.
How did 'La Foquita' perform against the 'crema' team? The first 'Jeffry' classic was on Wednesday, June 26, 2002, at the Monumental stadium in Ate. It was a 1-0 victory for 'U' with a goal scored by Martín Vilallonga in the first tie-breaker match for that year's Apertura Tournament.
Wearing the '25' shirt, Farfán would play eight more classics and would not lose again. In addition, he would score three goals against the 'merengue' team: two in 2003 and one during the 2004 season, the latter being the memorable goal after using a backheel and beating the resistance of Juan 'Chiquito' Flores.
