The match began with the ‘U’ having the ball, but without clear arrivals at the goal, only certain approaches; ‘Gavilán’ had stopped on the counterattack and waited patiently in his field, until Luis Urruti (34′) scored a great goal from outside the area and opened the way. With the score at 1-0, the process was different, and after the break came the celebrations of Williams Riveros (49′) and Edison Flores (52′) to settle the score, be the new leaders and get within three points of Alianza in the accumulated.
The keys to the match
stay fine
As against Sport Boys and against Vallejo, Luis Urruti continues to be on fire in front of the rival goal. Against UTC, he scored his third consecutive goal and paved the way for the cream victory with a great goal from outside the area. At 34′, and after Riveros recovered the ball, ‘Tito’ created a space, advanced without pressure and took the shot.
Zubczuk put his hand in, but was unable to deflect the ball. The Uruguayan completed another great day, and received a rating of 7.0 for SofaScore. With his goal, ‘Tito’ accumulated 11 goals this year and is already the second highest scorer for the ‘U’, only behind Valera (3). In the final stretch of the Clausura, the attacker’s presence and goals have been decisive.
Wall with goal
Although he was not there last night due to suspension of yellow cards and his replacement (Marco Saravia) did not clash at Mansiche, the presence of Williams Riveros gives him another hierarchy in the line of three at the back. The Paraguayan was once again a wall behind, but he not only appeared in his own area, but also in ‘Gavilán del Norte’, scoring 2-0.
When the second half had just started, the ‘U’ had a corner kick in their favor, and Flores and Polo stopped at the flag. In a prepared play, the ball passed to the side, the center reached the far post, Di Benedetto lowered it and Riveros connected with a header in front of Zubczuk and company, at 49′. SofaScore rated ‘Tarzan’ at 8.8, the highest score.
Stopped the ‘Ears’
On the same day that Juan Reynoso announced the local squad and his name was again absent, Edison Flores returned to score to seal the score for the ‘U’. ‘Orejas’, who this time was as a forward in the area replacing Valera, found himself with the goal at 52′ after Andy Polo launched a low cross into the area and UTC’s ‘1’ could not cover it. The ball was stuck and ’19’ just had to push it.
A goal that helps ‘Orejas’ emotionally and to continue recovering his level, since he is not yet in his best state. Even against UTC he felt more comfortable arriving in the area than being there as a net forward. Despite this, as a reward for his efforts he managed to score. He was rated with a score of 7.1 according to SofaScore.
The brain of the team
This time he didn’t have to score or assist, but the work Piero Quispe did is worth highlighting. The cream ‘jewel’ was in charge of driving the ball and initiating the attacking plays of Fossati’s team. He stepped into the area, avoided rivals, but had a hard time finishing the plays; Despite this, he never hid and every time he had the ball, he raised his head looking to open the wings.
His work was not only in attack, Quispe was also supportive and went back meters to give him a hand on the mark. According to SofaScore, Piero received a rating of 7.4. For Fossati, he was one of the figures, so before the match ended, he changed him for Piero Guzmán so that he could receive the ovation from the stands.
He did his job
Replacing Rodrigo Ureña is not an easy task. The Chilean is one of the creams’ most outstanding players of the year, so when he is not there his absence is felt. However, this time, Jorge Murrugarra rose to the occasion and controlled the mark in the middle of the field, putting pressure on the rivals and not letting them play.
‘Murru’ took advantage of the opportunity that Fossati gave him and did his job with a score of 7.1, according to Sofascore. Another name that took advantage of his return to ’11’ was Nelson Cabanillas. The winger had not been against César Vallejo, but now he returned to the starting team and was also clear with long balls and passes to the middle, his score was 7.7.
