Before the second leg takes place at the Estadio Monumental in Lima, the merengue institution will have to take responsibility and pay a hefty fine due to the red card received by forward Valera against 'Timao', which will also leave him out of the second leg.
According to the statute of Conmebol, for the red card received by the cremas, they will have to pay a $2000 fine to the international entity.
Universitario also received two yellow cards
Another one of the players affected by the referee's decision was forward Luis Urruti and midfielder Rodrigo Ureña, each one in a different half of the match. This will also cause 'U' to pay another fine, consisting of $500 for each player, a total of $1000 for the two players of the squad.
How much in total will Universitario pay as a fine?
Adding up the $2000 fine for the red card expulsion, plus the other $1000 for the two yellow cards, Universitario will pay a total of $3000 to Conmebol, money that will be deducted from the amount they will receive for the broadcasting rights of their matches in the Copa Sudamericana.
