The ‘9′ are very even hand in hand with Jorge Fossati. Alexander Succar dresses up as a hero in Argentina, Emanuel Herrera also appears with his quota of goals in the Apertura Tournament and now it was the turn of Alex Valera, who excelled with a goal and an assist, to defeat Deportivo Municipal 2-1 in Villa El Salvador. When Piero Quispe’s rhythm of the game slowed down like Andy Polo was felt on the field of play, Alex was opportune to bring order to the attack, as well as vivacity on the opponent. Therefore, today more than he ever hurts the expulsion of him in the cream fan: he will not be next Monday against Sporting Cristal at the Monumental.
Municipal hit first with the usual formula: the duo of Fernando Pacheco and Christopher Olivares. It was the forward, who showed off Willams Riveros with a huacha, to give the ball to Sebastián Jaurena so that he make it 1-0 in the game, about 10 minutes. It was a blow that could KO some teams in the 1st League, but not Fossati’s ‘U’. If someone has managed to recover from the result, it has been Universitario de Deportes.
Subsequently, and 15 minutes later, the Valera’s goal. After a cross from Nelson Cabanillas, the ‘9′ cream won the position and put 1-1 in the game over Steven Rivadeneyra’s fence. ‘Muni’ felt the blow, lowered the pace of the game and decided to bet on the counterattack.
Already in the second half, the ‘U’ hit again: Valera hitch, pass for Emanuel Herrera and goal of the ‘Machinery’the fifth with the University shirt.
With the advantage, ‘Muni’ followed his style: with Olivares’ individual, the hook and the centers from the wings. If it weren’t for Riveros’ drive, beyond having eaten two huachas, and José Carvallo’s sobriety, I wouldn’t be talking about a triumph for the ‘U’.
However, this is how a team works. If last week there was talk of Piero Quispe, today it was the turn of Valera, Riveros and Carvallo. Unfortunately, for Fossati’s interests, Valera will not be on the next date against Sporting Cristal: He was sent off late on, with a double yellow card. His loss will definitely be felt, but there’s something this team has shown. The figure as the championship passes, so on Monday the 24th there promises to be a great game.

university vs. Municipal: match preview
Universitario arrives at this match at his best, because since the arrival of Jorge Fossati on the bench he does not know what it is to lose. In their last game they beat Atlético Grau 2-1 at the Monumental stadium. Although Daniel Franco put a draw on the scoreboard after the 1-0 scored by Andy Polo, Horacio Calcaterra signed the goal of the ‘merengue’ victory.
Respecting the lineup that he has been presenting to his rivals in recent times, ‘Flaco’ would command the eleventh that almost comes out of memory. José Carvallo will be in goal; Aldo Corzo, Williams Riveros and Matías Di Benedetto in the central defense; Andy Polo and Nelson Cabanillas as wingers; Martín Pérez Guedes, Rodrigo Ureña and Piero Quispe in midfield; José Rivera – instead of Luis Urruti who was not called up – and Emanuel Herrera on offense.
Let’s remember that there is the possibility that Fossati makes some changes if we take into account that next week they will face Goiás for the second day of Group G of the Copa Sudamericana 2023. Since they will play at home, the ‘U’ has the obligation to win and thus add their second victory in the continental contest, which would place them with six units and lead to a possible classification to the next round.
In total, Universitario is momentarily in second position in the general table of the Apertura Tournament, accumulating nineteen points after ten games played. These numbers were obtained after six wins, one draw and three losses, as well as sixteen goals scored and eight conceded, leaving them with a goal difference of +8.

It is valid to add that the Licensing Commission reduced one point for non-payment.
