Gimnasia started the game displaying very daring football to try to get Universitario into their field, who was slow to wake up despite the fact that he was playing at home surrounded by the tireless encouragement of his thousands of fans who came to the Monumental stadium in Lima.

After the surprising ten minutes in the beginning, in which the Argentines had the initiative, those led by Jorge Fossati reacted and began to stand better in midfield to generate dangerous chances in the rival area. The ‘Wolf’ needed to win by more than two goals to go to the tournament playoffs.

The game gained intensity and went back and forth at times, with the arrival of danger from both teams, but always with problems defining their players.

However, the long-awaited cry of the Universitario fans resounded vibrantly at 40 when midfielder Piero Quispe broke the net with a strong low left-footed shot from outside the area. The party seemed to loom

In the complement, Universitario came out to propose an aggressive game to look for his second conquest and ensure his classification. At 51, the referee canceled Universitario’s second goal after forward position by striker Alex Valera.

Gymnastics did not underarm and intensely pressured the Peruvian team that defended their goal so as not to lose their playoff qualification. At 60, Fossati moved his bench and made two changes to recover his team’s offensive power.

On his side, the Argentine coach Sebastián Romero of Gymnastics made Torres and Enrique enter the 65 to recover the midfield and seek to overcome the score that left them eliminated. But at 71, Gimnasia was left with 10 players after a double yellow from midfielder Ignacio Miramón.

With one more man on the pitch, Universitario stepped on the accelerator to end the game with a second goal, but their forwards failed due to the prominence of goalkeeper Tomás Durso.

In discounts, Gymnastics was left with 9 men, after the expulsion of Franco Torres.

This is how Corinthians arrives

Corinthians qualified for the 2023 Copa Sudamericana playoff by beating Liverpool Uruguay 3-0 at home, on the last date of Group E of the Copa Libertadores.

Matheus Araujo, in the first half, and Felipe Augusto and Adson, in the second, scored the three goals for a ‘Timao’ who played with an eleven substitute and full of youngsters. Liverpool had their best chance in the second half, with a penalty saved by local goalkeeper Carlos Miguel from Rubén Betancourt.

With the victory, Corinthians finished third in the group with seven points, behind Ecuadorian Independiente del Valle (12) and Argentinos Juniors (11), and beating bottom club Liverpool, who finished with four points.

With no options of advancing in the Libertadores, Corinthians and Liverpool reached the sixth and final round of the group tied at 5 points and with the only incentive of achieving third position and going on to play in the Copa Sudamericana playoff.

In a cold environment, with the worst public attendance this season at the Itaquera in Sao Paulo and protests from the fans due to the bad season of ‘Timao’, the substitutes and the young promises of the Corinthians base brought joy to their ‘crooked’ with a deserved victory in a good performance by the locals.

Exploring the speed of Matheus Araújo, Adson and Wesley, Corinthians were superior and looked for the goal from the first minute. Wesley, Adson, on two occasions, Felipe Augusto and Murilo had the first clear chances for ‘Timao’ in the first twenty minutes, before at the stroke of half an hour, Matheus Araújo opened the scoring.

In a recovery in the three-quarter zone, Adson opened to the left for Wesley, who after unsuccessfully trying to get away from Gastón Martirena, ended up unleashing a cross shot that crashed into Sebastián Britos’ right post. Very attentive, Matheus Araujo picked up the rebound and scored the first goal of the game.

The goal woke up a Liverpool team that until then had limited itself to exploring Corinthians’ turnovers in midfield to try to surprise the counter. The Uruguayans stretched their lines and went for the equalizer, which they brushed just before the break with a shot from outside the area by Gonzalo Napoli that Carlos Miguel narrowly saved.

The second half began with a goal disallowed against Corinthians due to a millimeter offside by Giuliano. The Brazilian team kept looking for the second goal and achieved it in minute 63, when Adson, from the bottom line, sent a cross-shot to the far post. The rebound fell at the feet of Felipe Augusto, who almost without expecting the rebound, scored the second goal, his first goal with the Corinthian first team.

Liverpool had their best chance in the 70th minute, when warned by the VAR, the referee signaled a penalty for Giuliano’s hands on a shot by Federico Pereira. However, goalkeeper Carlos Miguel guessed Rubén Bentancourt’s shot and prevented the visiting goal. In the sequence, the Brazilian goalkeeper showed off again after Martirena’s shot, which received the rejection of the penalty.

The entry of five youngsters in the final stretch of the game gave Corinthians more momentum, who scored the third goal after a quick action by Pedrinho down the left wing that ended with a pass to the center of the area, where Adson finished off at will to close marker.
