Alfredo Ramúa, one of the figures of Cusco FC, referred to the exciting match that took place at the Estadio de Matute. The 'Chapu' did not hesitate to highlight the current victorian squad, after being overcome. He also wished them good luck in their international competition under the direction of Guillermo Salas.
"Alianza Lima has the best squad in the tournament and has a lot of hierarchy, they prepared for something more. I hope they do well in the Libertadores. We had a difficult venue like Matute, it was complicated and we couldn't bring anything home," argued Ramúa for "Todas las Voces del Fútbol".

'Chapu' Ramúa asserted that Alianza Lima and Universitario wanted to sign him
"In my 12 years in Peruvian football, I had a couple of approaches from Alianza Lima and Universitario, but it didn't materialize. Then I came to Cristal and continued my career in Cusco," said the Cusco FC midfielder.
