Luis Iberico scored the 1-0 of Melgar vs. University in the Monumental of the UNSA of Arequipa | VIDEO

Luis Iberico got the first goal for Melgar vs. University, after beating Diego Romero in the Monumental of the UNSA of Arequipa.

A free kick generated a cross from the left and the ball found Leonel Galeano’s forehead, who managed to deflect it and send it towards the cream box’s goal.

A more than clear situation and that was not wasted by the rojinegros. Luis Iberico appeared to push the ball and celebrate the first of the match at the UNSA Monumental.

This is Iberico’s third goal so far in the Liga 1 Opening Tournament. Melgar’s top scorer is Bernardo Cuesta, who has six goals and is three behind Alex Valera, leader of the scorers table.

Universitario and Melgar will have to quickly turn the page on what happens at the UNSA Monumental and continue working to meet their goals for this 2022. The creams have the Apertura title in mind, while the people of Arequipa hope to continue in the fight in the local championship and in the Copa Sudamericana.

After this day, the Peruvian championship will stop for a few weeks due to the commitments that the Peruvian team will have towards the Qatar 2022 World Cup. When football returns, Universitario will have to visit Huancayo on June 26 in a decisive match for their aspirations at the tournament.

For his part, Melgar will travel to Lima to face Sport Boys in Callao on June 19. Those led by Néstor Lorenzo will not have any activity in the South American until the 29th of next month, when they visit Deportivo Cali in Colombia.
