Universitario de Deportesdoes not lift its head. The cream team stepped on Héroes de San Ramón, focused on adding three points againstUTC, to cling to the dream of winning the Apertura Tournament 2023 of theLiga 1. However, the opposite happened in Cajamarca and even, they were left with one less player on the field, after the expulsion ofWilliams Riveros.
Jorge Fossati never imagined that things would turn out like this. Relying on the return of Aldo Corzo, Williams Riveros, Rodrigo Ureña, and Nelson Cabanillas to the starting lineup, who missed the match against César Vallejo, the creams arrived with all their firepower.
However, those who ended with their mouths open were the merengues themselves: the Cajamarca team stood well at home to extinguish the illusion of the creams: Juan Cruz Randazzo scored the only goal of the match with his head, which became more complicated after the red card to the Paraguayan defender. Now, they just have to hope for a bad result from Alianza Lima.
Universitario vs. UTC: what's coming
The 'U' will go to Cajamarca and will return to action on Friday, June 2 against Cusco FC at the Monumental stadium. Later, they will play the Copa Sudamericana in matchday 5 against Independiente de Santa Fe: the duel will take place on June 8 in Colombia.
