Universitario de Deportes
is surprising everyone in South America so far with its participation in Group G of the Copa Sudamericana 2023, where it is currently leading with four points and has very positive expectations for a possible qualification to the next phase.
In the victory in Argentinean lands against Gimnasia and the hard-fought draw against Goiás, the "cremas" have had very good and outstanding individual performances, but Andy Polo is by far one of the players who is performing the best in the tournament.
Playing in his new position as a right wing-back, the 28-year-old player has relieved himself from the heavy burden of scoring goals and his support in defensive and offensive aspects has improved, to the point that he is among the best in a statistical ranking of the competition.
Andy Polo is fifth in dribbles completed
According to data provided by the Twitter account Conmebol Stats and shared on social media by the 'Gran Conquista', the Peruvian winger ranks in the top 5 of players with the most completed dribbles in two matchdays, with a total of 16.
His record is only below players like Nahuel Barrios (San Lorenzo), Daniel Cataño (Millonarios), José Enamorado (Independiente Santa Fe), and Nicolás Rossi (Peñarol).
Andy Polo: his numbers in the Sudamericana
Andy Polo has been playing at a high level in the continental competition, where he has played all 270 minutes on the field in three matches. Although he has not scored, he provided the assist for Alex Valera's goal against the Brazilian team.
