Universitario de Deportes did not show their best level against Santa Fe at the 'Campín de Bogota' Stadium and was defeated 2-0 in a match full of controversial refereeing decisions. The team led by Jorge Fossati did everything possible to equalize the game, but failed to convert the chances they had.

Despite staying in the race for the last match of Group G, the 'cremas' will have to fight against an adverse situation to defeat Gimnasia y Esgrima. The match at the Monumental Stadium will not count on the presence of two players who are preferred by the Uruguayan coach.
This refers to Rodrigo Ureña, who already has three yellow cards, and Nelson Cabanillas who was sent off in the first half due to a reckless play with a raised leg.
As we remember, the talented Chilean midfielder, who was close to being called up to the Chilean national team, has received warnings since the previous phase. The first time he saw the yellow card was against Cienciano del Cusco on March 9, then he repeated it against Gimnasia in Argentina on April 5 and finally in Colombia he was 'sentenced' to miss the next match.
When does Universitario vs. Gimnasia y Esgrima play?
