He is blessed. Luis Urruti has been doing everything right at Universitario de Deportes. He runs after every ball, gives good assists, and, to top it off, he also scores goals. This Friday, the Uruguayan midfielder -Peruvian nationalized-, scored the 2-0 in the match against Cienciano and increased his goal tally in the Liga 1. He already has five goals and is the top scorer of the tournament along with Argentine Santiago Giordana (Deportivo Garcilaso) and Colombian Yorleys Mena (César Vallejo).
A deflection off of a Cienciano player left the ball bouncing in the visiting team's area. The 30-year-old player, who was very attentive to the play, appeared to define over the goalkeeper Miguel Vargas. It was his third goal in his last two matches. Let's remember that in the last match against ADT Tarma, he scored a double.
Last year Luis Urruti was injured and missed a large part of the championship. It is known that injuries have not left him alone in his career, but when he is physically fit, he can make a difference in any match. The 'cremas' fans hope that this time he does not get injured because, right now, he is the top scorer and the all-rounder of the team.
Universitario vs. Cienciano: What's Next
After this rescheduled match for the first round of the Apertura Tournament 2023, Universitario de Deportes will have another match next weekend when they visit Deportivo Garcilaso. The match is scheduled for Friday, March 31, starting at 6:00 p.m., it will be played at the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega stadium and will be broadcast by Liga 1 MAX.
The last memory of the 'cremas' at the Cusco venue was positive, as it happened recently when they faced Deportivo Binacional. That night, although Andy Polar opened the scoring with a powerful header, the 'U' managed to turn the score around with goals from Emanuel Herrera and Alex Valera. Let's see if Jorge Fossati applies the same formula again.
Cienciano, on the other hand, will play on Saturday, April 1st, when they visit Alianza Lima at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium (7:00 p.m.). This match will also be broadcast by Liga 1 MAX, and it could be Christian Cueva's first match at the venue located in the Matute neighborhood. 'Papá de América' will not have an easy time against Guillermo Salas' team, who have become stronger every time they play in front of their fans.
