Universitario de Deportes defeated Sport Boys 1-0 in the Clausura Tournament and is very close to the top positions of the table, ranking third with 20 points.

He has two nationalities: Argentine, as he was born in Buenos Aires, and Peruvian, because he grew up in our country. In fact, he can be called up by both countries.
