university could not achieve a positive result at the Monumental U Marathon Stadium and was eliminated South American Cup after losing 3-1 on aggregate to Corinthians in the tournament playoffs. In a difficult game that saw some clashes on the field, Jorge Fossati’s side failed to turn the tide against a Timao with several young players. This is precisely why the Brazilian team used the elimination to pass some pointers to the top team.
One of the first posts on his Twitter account shortly after the meeting, It was a picture of some hands throwing some mortarboards in the air during a graduation ceremonywhich could be interpreted as an indication of the youth of the Timao squad.

As you know, DT Vanderlei Luxemburgo decided to call up several young footballers for this series and there are few games in this type of competition. Matheus Araujo, the midfielder who went viral for his boyish looks, is just 21 and Ryan Gustavo, who scored the second goal, is 20.
Another contribution from Timao was a victory phrase that also makes a clear reference to the age of Brazilian soccer players who, with little experience in these competitions, managed to prevail in both appearances.
“Good morning lovelys! If the fifth grader in you survived yesterday’s game in Peru unscathed, we’re together!” Corinthians wrote on their official Twitter account.
