Universitario added a draw against Cusco FC and became the sole leaders of the 2023 Clausura tournament. The teams led by Jorge Fossati are the candidates to win Phase 2 of Liga 1; However, they are waiting for the Sporting Cristal vs. Cienciano match that will be played this Sunday, October 22, at the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega Stadium.
The Creams could lose first place in the local tournament as long as Sporting Cristal beat “Papá” by more than three goals in Cusco. In this way, the light blue team would be level with the “U” in points (36 points), but would have the advantage on goal difference. This situation would force the “U” not only to beat Sport Huancayo on matchday 19, but also to score as many goals as possible.
What needs to happen for Universitario to win the Clausura tournament?
The first thing that needs to happen is for Sporting Cristal to lose or draw against Cienciano. This would allow the “U” to rely on themselves to win the Clausura tournament. Even if the Meringues draw or lose, they could win if a variety of outcomes occur.
- If Universitario wins: The result of the other teams (Alianza, Cristal and Melgar) does not matter as it would lead them by at least one point.
- If the university is tied: Maximum Melgar must be a draw; while Cristal and Alianza managed to win but with the slightest difference.
- If Universitario loses: Alianza and Cristal must lose or draw; while Melgar has to lose on his visit to Binacional
YOU CAN SEE: Universitario assured the renewal of 2 figures before the definition of Liga 1 2023
