About the Match
In a few minutes Universitario de Deportes will host Corinthians in our capital for the second leg of the 2023 Copa Sudamericana playoffs, with the aim of securing a spot in the round of 16. Prior to this, the Brazilian team released a surprising publication about the Monumental Stadium, where the important match for the Conmebol tournament will be played.
The Controversy
As we know, in the last few days, controversy has surrounded this match because Corinthians requested multiple times to Conmebol not to play in Lima due to the Guillain-Barre syndrome, despite the Ministry of Health indicating that there was no risk of contagion. For this reason, the Universitario team made all kinds of comments that were responded by the 'Timao', especially after the U's physical trainer was arrested for making racist gestures in the first leg.
Corinthians' Message
Finally, the match will be played in Ate and for this reason Corinthians published the following message: "The challenge of today is here!". Accompanied by an image of the Monumental Stadium, and in the comments section, all Brazilian fans began to send messages ensuring that they will take the victory anyway.
The Match
Remember that Universitario de Deportes must win by the minimum to force a penalty shootout, and win by two or more goals to directly qualify for the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana. In the first leg, 'Timao' won 1-0 and Alex Valera was sent off, so he will not be available tonight in the second leg.
