Universitario de Deportes had a happy night at the Monumental stadium, not only because of their victory against Carlos A. Mannucci, which puts them close to securing their spot in the Copa Sudamericana and getting closer to fight for the Torneo Clausura, but also because their most promising player, Piero Quispe, scored his first goal with the merengue shirt this season, and the 3-0 against the team from the north. GOAL!

The 'Joya' of the crema team was able to release the tension of scoring his long-awaited goal this year and silence the criticism that asked for more presence in the rival's net. The play was created at minute 70 after an important counterattack led by Rodrigo Vilca and Alexander Succar. The forward dribbled on the right and launched the ball to the position of the youngest player on the team.
The ball crossed the heart of the area in the air to reach Piero Quispe's right leg, who had no problem executing a perfect volley and scoring the 3-0 for the crema team, who arrive with great motivation to face Sporting Cristal in the next match and define their chances for the Clausura title.
