If one could imagine a process dominated by Universitario de Deportes , Deportivo Binacional arrived at the Monumental to play their game and prevent their goal from being easily violated. However, when it seemed that the 1-0 would take a while to arrive, Williams Riveros appeared with a header to open the score in favor of the 'cremas'.
The play originated from a corner kick executed by Andy Polo. The winger from 'U' delivered a precise cross from the right and found the Paraguayan defender at the highest point of the 'Poderoso del Sur' area. After prevailing against his markers, 'Tarzan' hit a header impossible to save for goalkeeper Diego Enríquez.
This is not Riveros' first goal with Universitario, as he had previously also scored against Goiás in the group stage of the Copa Sudamericana. That time, the Paraguayan's goal helped Jorge Fossati's team to reduce a 0-2 deficit, where they ended up equalizing the score thanks to the 2-2 signed by Alex Valera at 90'+6.
Universitario vs. Binacional: what lies ahead for them
After this match for matchday 8 of the Clausura 2023 Tournament, Universitario de Deportes will play again next week when they visit ADT for the ninth round. This match is scheduled for Wednesday, August 16 at 3:15 p.m., and will be played at the Unión Tarma stadium with the exclusive broadcast of Liga 1 MAX.
Since the 'cremas' are still in the fight for the national title, they are obliged to make an impact on Tarma soil and keep adding points to prevent their pursuers from having a chance to reach them at the top of the Clausura. The last time these two teams faced each other was in the Apertura, with a victory for 'U' by 3-1 with goals from Luis Urruti (2) and Emanuel Herrera.
Binacional, on the other hand, will also have activity next week when they host Universidad César Vallejo in Juliaca. This match is scheduled for Thursday, August 17 at 3:15 p.m., and will take place at the Guillermo Briceño Rosamedina stadium with the exclusive broadcast of Liga 1 MAX. When these two teams faced each other in the Apertura, the 'Poetas' won by 2-0 with goals from Aldair Fuentes and Yorleys Mena.
