Despite that, the 'merengue' squad will not be able to count on one of its most important players for the upcoming match against Sporting Cristal, and that player is defender Matías Di Benedetto, who received a new yellow card and would be absent for the rest of the Clausura's most important match, where both teams seek to climb up the table.

In light of this situation, the Argentine spoke after the match against Municipal, and confessed that he had a conversation with the coach Jorge Fossati before receiving his booking. "I had talked about it with Jorge (Fossati) and he told me that this was the most important match for us and that we shouldn't think about what comes next. They are difficult because everyone is fighting for something. I'm not going to lie, I knew I had four yellow cards, and when I got booked, that came to my mind, but I had to quickly focus on this match because it was the one we were playing and the one we had to win," he commented to Golperú cameras.

"Suddenly, anxiety made us rush in many parts of the first half, where we couldn't finish some chances with greater effectiveness. We went through a moment where they had a few opportunities, but we made ourselves solid again, we regained that solidity we had before," he declared.

When is the match between Universitario and Sporting Cristal?

The match between Sporting Cristal and Universitario for matchday 13 of the Clausura Tournament 2023 will take place on Saturday, September 16, starting at 20:30 local time at Estadio Nacional de Lima.
