If ADT started the complementary stage looking to position themselves on the opposite field - especially with Víctor Perlaza and José Cazares - Universitario de Deportes did not allow the danger to approach Diego Romero's goal. Thus, with greater professionalism, they found the way to take the lead again: first Emanuel Herrera made his presence felt in the 2-1 and then Luis Urruti, completing his double, scored a great goal for the 3-1 at the Monumental stadium.
The Argentine stood at the penalty spot after the penalty was called by Michael Espinoza and the 'cremas' fans in the stands prepared their phones. However, the celebration was delayed for a few seconds: Ignacio Barrios guessed the first shot, but the rebound allowed the 'Maquinaria' to make amends and celebrate his third goal so far in 2023, two of them in the Torneo Apertura.
Subsequently, the 2-1 disconcerted ADT and the 'U' players took advantage of that to exploit their rival's weak defense. Thus, 'Ema' had the opportunity to combine with Urruti and, after a pass into space, 'Tito' defined with great quality to seal the 3-1. 'Nacho' Barrios stretched in vain and saw his goal be breached for the third time in the night.
Universitario vs. ADT: what's next
After this match for the ninth matchday of the Torneo Apertura 2023, Universitario de Deportes will again have activity next week when they visit the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega stadium, located in the city of Cusco, to face Deportivo Garcilaso. The match is scheduled for Friday, March 31st, starting at 6:00 p.m. and will be broadcast exclusively on Liga 1 MAX.
The last memory of the 'U' stepping on that Cusco venue is positive, as they defeated Deportivo Binacional a week ago with goals from Alex Valera and Emanuel Herrera. Since the former Al Fateh forward will be in Europe with the Peruvian national team, the 'Maquinaria' will be the main scoring asset for the 'cremas'.
ADT, on the other hand, will also play on Friday, March 31st, when they host Universidad César Vallejo at the Municipal Unión Tarma stadium. So far, of the three matches they have played at home, Franco Navarro's pupils have won two. They will surely seek to do the same against the 'Poetas', who will travel to Tarma to do their business.
