Universitario scored 1-0 against Gimnasia La Plata in the Copa Sudamericana Group C 1st date match thanks to the goal Alexander Zucker after the referee awarded a penalty in favor of the Creams. Jorge Fossati’s side found their best scoring chance of the game after creating several dangerous plays in the second half.
The Peruvian team benefited after the referee awarded the maximum penalty after a Lobo defender committed a penalty in his box. This game was born after Nelson Cabanillas tried to send a center into the opponent’s area.
The match umpire had to contact the VAR to determine if there was a penalty. Minutes after thorough analysis and review of the images, he decided to point to the gymnastics area to issue the “U” penalty.
