University of Sports ceased to be leaders in the Final tournament 2023. By Day 9, Jorge Fossati’s cast fell on his visit to ADT, a result Sporting Cristal capitalized on to take the lead after winning in Piura. The cream team have 20 points and are one point behind the light blue team, a lead that gives them a chance to reclaim first place, at least temporarily, when they take on Deportivo Garcilaso on Round 10 of the competition.
The good news for the Uruguayan coach is that he will restore three players missing from the last game: Edison Flores, Emanuel Herrera and Nelson Cabanillas. This gives them more opportunities to form a team that will give them 3 points against Pedacito de Cielo.
