Universitario came close to scoring a positive result during his visit to Corinthians in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana playoffs. However, the exclusion of Álex Valera changed the prospects in Timao’s favor and a painful goal from Felipe Augusto sealed victory for the locals.
After the incident, many fans of the merengue team attacked the Peruvian striker, calling his actions irresponsible. Recall that “Valegol” received a red card after the referee checked his foul in VAR.

“Universitario returns from the Neo Quimica Arena without success. Álex Valera’s recklessness and inattentiveness in the back line got Timao on the scene.” “He stupidly lets himself be sent off in crucial cases”, “This defeat has only one name: Álex Valera”, “It’s not clear why Álex Valera in this game and in this area. Totally unnecessary,” the angry fans said on social media.
