In a contentious match, University of Sports lost 1-3 to Athletic Alliance in Sullana. The match had it all: goals, saves, red cards, controversial referee decisions and more. It is a very hard defeat because it means the end of the undefeated Jorge Fossati, who had gone 13 games without losing, both in Liga 1 and in the Copa Sudamericana. After the final whistle, the 70-year-old coach gave his analysis of the commitment. Here we tell you what he said.
The former Peñarol coach, with maturity and a whole life experience, decided not to talk much after his first defeat in the Peruvian championship. Of course, he stressed that it was the worst game they have played since he arrived at Ate. Remember that the ‘U’ had achieved 11 wins and 2 draws in recent months.
“It was the worst production we had in my period. It was an abnormal game due to many situations. I am proud of the team that I lead. I am more proud. It’s all I’m going to talk about”, Fossati pointed out after the fall in Sullana. The Uruguayan had no qualms about leaving a ‘little’ to arbitration.
It should be noted that it is the first time that Universitario de Deportes has scored 3 goals in a game this season. Of course, unlike other matches, this Sunday he was left with eight players on the field after the expulsions of Nelson Cabanillas (for a gesture), Aldo Corzo and Rodrigo Urena. Undoubtedly, an “abnormal” match.
University: what is your next game
After this match for the rescheduling of day 2 of the Opening Tournament, University of Sports He will play again next week when he receives the César Vallejo University for the sixteenth date. This commitment is agreed for Friday, May 19 from 8:30 pm and will be held at the Monumental stadium, located in the Ate district.
The tournament has entered its most “spicy” stage and the “creams” know it, because with Alianza Lima in the lead they have no margin for error if they want to fight until the end. Therefore, knowing that they will face one of the most difficult rivals, Jorge Fossati will seek to keep the three points against Trujillo. If this occurs, they will continue to put pressure on the ‘blue and white’.
