Only four minutes were enough for César Vallejo University to open the score against Magallanes, in the match corresponding to the fifth round of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana. The goal came through Aldair Fuentes, who took advantage of a great pass from Alejandro Ramirez to put the score 1-0 in favor of the 'Poetas' at the Mansiche Stadium in Trujillo.
The action came after a counterattack from Sebastián Abreu's team. On the left side, the trujillano team combined with Yorleys Mena and Alejandro Ramírez. However, the latter was just on the edge of the rival area and connected a good cross with his right foot.
Aldair Fuentes was the only 'Poeta' player in the heart of the Chilean team's area. With great skill, the midfielder jumped and eluded his mark to connect a powerful header and break the tie at the Mansiche Stadium.
