Universitario de Deportes and Sporting Cristal put on a show that didn’t live up to expectations. At the National Stadium, the Creams and the Light Blues drew 0-0 in a game where there were not many chances to score and which attracted more attention because of what happened off the pitch. One of these episodes was the exchange of words between technicians Tiago Nunes and Jorge Fossati, which ended with the expulsion of both, and to which the interim administrator of the student club referred: Jean Ferrari.
“These are things that happen in hot games like this. Nobody wants to lose. The effectiveness of the goal was missing. We were enormously superior and that certainly bothered the Cristal coach, who went a little crazy,” the former player explained to Liga 1 Radio.
Beyond the incident, Ferrari assured that it would not file a formal complaint about the Rimese strategist’s behavior. “Fossati was annoyed by the gestures that (Nunes) made against our players. The complaint in this case is not worth it, but he will have to control himself a little,” he added.

This was the tense moment between Tiago Nunes and Jorge Fossati
Around the 93rd minute of Cristal vs. “U,” Tiago Nunes and Jorge Fossati got into a heated verbal exchange that led to a small scuffle between players from both sides. Referee Kevin Ortega showed both coaches the red card after the incident.
Why was Jorge Fossatti mad at Tiago Nunes?
As announced in a press conference by Leonardo Martins, the Uruguayan’s technical assistant, the Cream coach accused his colleague of insulting Aldo Corzo. “Not with the players! Don’t insult him!” would have been Fossati’s complaint to Nunes.
