From the current roster of Universitario, only two players from the 2013 campaign remain. Goalkeeper José Carvallo and midfielder Roberto Siucho, who only became part of the team without playing a single match of the season.
There are also two crema players who will seek personal revenge after losing two finals against Alianza Lima. They are Horacio Calcaterra who, in 2021, while playing for Sporting Cristal, watched as the 'grone' team lifted the cup.
The other merengue player is the Argentine midfielder, Martín Pérez Guedes. In 2022, defending FBC Melgar, he saw the opportunity to become champion in Peruvian football dissolve.
Where will the first final of the Liga 1 be played?
Alianza Lima, being the team with the most points in Liga 1 2023, chose where to play first. In this case, they decided to close the final in Matute. That is, the first duel against Universitario will be played at the Monumental stadium on Saturday, November 4th, while the return will be on Wednesday, November 8th. Both matches are scheduled for 8:00 pm.
