About 71 minutes into the match, the Universitario coach decided to bring Rodrigo Vilca onto the field in place of Alberto Quintero, a decision that did not sit well with Erick Osores.
"This is a message, not having Novick play is a message, having Vilca, who is truly a ghost, come in is a message. I believe Compagnucci said, 'I'm not going to deviate from what I do best'. The championship is over for him." Erick Osores said on Equipo F.
Later, the sports journalist indicated that Hernán Novick was Universitario's first substitution and he cannot understand why Vilca entered the field instead of the Uruguayan midfielder.
What results does Universitario need to win the Clausura?
