Joel Alarcón will not go: Bruno Pérez will referee the match between Universitario and Carlos A. Mannucci.

Although initially Joel Alarcón had been designated for this match in the sixth round of the Opening Tournament, CONAR changed it to Bruno Pérez. However, the rest of the team will remain the same: Enrique Pinto and Jerry Gamarra as assistant referees, Kamilo Robles as fourth referee, and José Tamayo as the advisor.

Carlos A. Mannucci will not be an easy opponent, as they also want to make themselves strong at home and have already caused problems for one of the favorites to win the championship: Sporting Cristal, whom they drew with in the last minute a couple of weeks ago (1-1). In this way, and after beating Sport Boys in Lima (1-1), the team led by Mario Viera wants to make their home advantage count.

Precisely before this match, Raziel García, one of the figures of the 'Tricolor', gave his perspective on what could happen on Sunday and valued the level of his teammates. "We work hard and take it game by game. Universitario is a big team, but we have a great squad," he said.

"We must focus on what is in our hands, which is to prepare ourselves in the best way in all aspects of the match. We are looking at all the details and the coach is looking at the best eleven to play this weekend, but we are focused on having a good match, which is a final," he added.

After what was seen last Sunday in the classic against Alianza Lima, Carlos Compagnucci was not completely satisfied with his team's performance and would make some variations in their tactical lineup to face Carlos A. Mannucci. The plan is to improve defensively and not be as exposed as they were against Guillermo Salas' team.

Thus, the Argentine strategist will move his pieces to promote the entrances of Piero Quispe and Aldo Corzo. The 'U' wants to change the image they left against the 'Íntimos' and for that, they will have to improve a lot. If these modifications are made, Hugo Ancajima and Martín Pérez Guedes would go to the bench.
