Universitario de Deportes will make their debut today in the 2017 Copa Libertadores against Deportivo Capiatá from Paraguay. The match will be played at the Estadio Erico Galeano Segovia at 7:15 pm (Peruvian time).

The university team traveled yesterday afternoon to Paraguayan territory, after some unforeseen circumstances due to lack of permission to land at the Asunción airport, which forced the flight to be delayed for more than eight hours. Finally, under the guidance of coach Roberto Chale, they arrived around 9:00 p.m. and immediately moved to the concentration hotel.

Prior to the trip, the 'cremas' players gave statements to the press, in which they expressed their hopes of achieving a good result. Forward Luis 'Pana' Tejada thanked the fans for their support and assured that they will "give their all on the field" to overcome the series.

On the other hand, Juan Manuel Vargas said he is excited about a good performance that allows them to bring a positive result from Paraguay. "The support of the fans is always necessary, I hope that tomorrow we can bring joy," said the team captain, who also acknowledged not being physically 100% but guaranteed his effort to continue working.
