Rodrigo Vilca was expelled in Universitario vs. Ayacucho and will lose the classic against Alianza | VIDEO

Universitario de Deportes got a great result against Ayacucho (2-1), but lost an important piece for the next game. Rodrigo Vilca was sent off during matchday nine after receiving a double yellow card. For this reason, the winger will miss the duel against Alianza Lima.

At 68 minutes of play, the ‘U’ winger disputed a divided ball and, for referee Joel Alarcón, entered recklessly, earning the second yellow card that sent him to the showers before the end of the match. Vilca left the creams with 10 at the moment when they were best positioned facing the Ayacucho goal. Everything seemed to be going uphill for Ate’s.

However, Universitario insisted in the final stretch of the second half and turned the score around with 10 men. After Italo Espinoza’s own goal, the cream team did not give up and scored 2-1 to the joy of the fans.

At 90 ‘, after a rejection by the defense of the student team, Piero Quispe controlled the ball and gave it to Andy Polo who returned to the merengue team after six years. So, the reinforcement started from before the midfield and began to elude the rival defenders.

The creams will have to receive Alianza Lima at the Monumental de Ate stadium in the first ‘Clásico’ of the year. If those led by Gutiérrez manage to win, they can dream of being part of the top zone of the classification.
