When it seemed that a new defeat of Universitario de Deportes was decreed, Luis Urruti appeared to score the 2-2 and rescue a point in the visit to Atlético Grau, at the Municipal de Bernal stadium (Piura). Although it is not the expected result, it is better to add one unit than to leave empty-handed. It was a goal that made the hundreds of Cream fans who came to the sports venue explode with joy.
Very excited, the Uruguayan footballer began to run and hit his chest, highlighting the logo of the Merengue institution. Coach Jorge Fossati, on the other hand, asked his team to stay calm and go for the comeback, which finally didn't come because there was no more time.
Urruti scored again with the cream shirt after almost a month. His last goal had been on August 1st, when the Merengue team defeated Carlos A. Mannucci 3-0 at the Monumental stadium. Some of his victims this season were: Alianza Atlético, Cienciano, ADT de Tarma, Alianza Lima, and Cantolao.

The match, which will be played at the Monumental stadium in Ate, is scheduled to take place on Sunday, September 10th at 6:00 p.m. (Peru and Colombia time).
