The Universitario de Deportes did a great job at the local tournament, led by Jorge Fossati. With the Uruguayan on the bench, the Cremes linked three straight wins which saw them climb to the top of the Apertura. However, the ‘U’ cannot rest on its laurels and must focus on another challenge starting in April: the Copa Sudamericana, where it will play the group stage for the first time in its history and try to qualify for the next round to qualify.
The cast of Ate will enter the Conmebol competition after seven years, so this time they will try to up their game. Last time they reached the quarterfinals and were eliminated by Vasco da Gama.
Universitario’s rivals meet next Monday, March 27, when the group stage draws for both the Copa Sudamericana and Libertadores take place.
