What time do Universitario vs Alianza Lima play? TV channels for the first leg final.

Universitario qualified for this stage after winning the Clausura Tournament 2023, a competition that they led with 39 points after 18 matches played. Although the end was thrilling, the 'cremas' reached the final day depending on themselves and did not fail, as they defeated Sport Huancayo 2-0 with goals from Edison Flores and Horacio Calcaterra. Although their closest pursuers did their job, it was not enough to change the course of history.

In terms of overall numbers throughout the Liga 1 Betsson, 'U' finished in second place in the accumulated standings with 73 points after 36 matches played, only surpassed by Alianza Lima who accumulated 79 points. Thus, the team from Ate achieved these numbers after 22 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses, in addition to 57 goals scored and 22 goals conceded.

Jorge Fossati, the architect of Universitario's improvement in performance since his arrival, spoke in the preview of the match and expressed his satisfaction with what his players have done. "Happy and grateful to God for being in these stages. It is also thanks to the values that this group of players has had throughout the year; we have gone through difficult moments and I have never seen this team disappoint, neither at home nor internationally," he said in an interview with the media.

Although Alianza Lima has performed well in their recent national title finals, the Uruguayan coach preferred not to be influenced by statistics. "Each tournament has its own story, each championship has its own story, each classic confrontation has its own story. It doesn't make sense to compare when Universitario had a different squad, with a different coach; the rival had a different coach and squad too," he added.

Alianza Lima, on the other hand, reaches this final as the current champion of Peruvian football, winner of the Apertura Tournament 2023 and leader of the accumulated standings with 79 points. Due to their recent performances, the 'blanquiazul' team is somewhat favored compared to Universitario de Deportes, who also faces the pressure that if they do not win the title this year, they will reach their centenary with the burden of a decade without lifting the national title.

In terms of numbers, La Victoria's team failed to win the Clausura, finishing in third place with 37 points, 2 points behind 'U'. However, they maintained their leadership in the accumulated standings with 79 points, which allowed them to choose the home field advantage for these finals. Therefore, the first leg will take place at the Monumental stadium, while the second leg at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium. It is worth noting that the match at Matute will also have a full house, as all tickets were sold this past Thursday.
