Shameful Failure: The 'U' humiliation at home

What happened tonight has a name and surname: shameful failure. There is no way to not only apologize for the defeat, but also for the way in which the 'U' was humiliated at home by Capiatá (0-3), without feeling for a single second the important advantage it had obtained in the first leg (3-1). But let's not fool ourselves: based on what the cream had shown at the start of this season, results like this were to be expected. They needed to face a more accurate opponent. The goals that Huancayo missed on Sunday, Capiatá scored them.

ONE by ONE: player ratings and analysis of the 'U' players

Adding important names does not necessarily make a team. The 'U' is a conjunction of stars overshadowed by their own shine, brought together by the imposition of their names, without an idea that links them. What does the cream play? Or, rather, what does it intend to play? That is a mystery that becomes increasingly difficult to solve as the matches go by.

I still believe that Capiatá is a vulnerable team. But it was precisely because of this awareness of their limitations that they became strong. Gavilán understood that any plan he devised for the Lima operation had to pass, first and foremost, through a bulletproof order, in order to avoid the spaces that Gómez exploited so well last week. The next step was to accumulate men in midfield to control the ball and apply high pressure for the moment they lost it.
