The usual anger: Universitario’s reaction is not enough and he says goodbye to the South American | CHRONICLE

Suddenly it seemed that the more than 50,000 creams in the stands were also pushing on the field. The ‘U’ was an avalanche with Piero Quispe at the tip of the wave that cornered Corinthians, but the threat did not materialize the blow and it was a 2-1 defeat that left the creams out of the Copa Sudamericana.

The cream claw was enough to maintain the illusion until the end by reacting quickly to the Brazilian goal –Maycon at 69′ after a header against the post by Róger Guedes– and equalizing it via a penalty by Flores just seven minutes later. But in that attempt to look for the goal that would take them to penalties, a great play by Guedes ended in Ryan Gustavo’s goal, which sentenced the cream fall that ended in a new fight at the Monumental.

And the warnings were useless. Objects thrown by fans and the red ones for Di Benedetto and Calcaterra for the actions at the end. Conmebol is already targeting Peruvians for the events before Gymnastics. Now new sanctions will come.

-The match-

Piero Quispe has those characteristics that Peruvian soccer demands so much. He is mischievous, facetious and adept at looking for spaces, but when his plays do not end in a goal, the showiness of his game remains only flattery without the required success. Because Emanuel Herrera and Martín Pérez Guedes had it against goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, but the lanky goalkeeper knew how to turn off the screams of goal.

After the battle it will be said that he lost 55 minutes without Edison Flores on the field. ‘Oreja’ just entered the second part when he had been saved from the last match against Unión Comercio for tonight. The Quispe-Flores connection could have been more productive for the creams, but Corinthians stood with a line of five behind that prevented any surprise, except for the one-on-one by Pérez Guedes and the penalty for a handball inside the area.

With the Monumental completely full, the ‘U’ proved to be competitive in the face of the demand, but as often happens, not even the maximum effort reaches the international level. He paid dearly for the defeat in Sao Paulo, where with eleven men he had everything under control, but Valera’s red card complicated his plans.

The dream of the South American is over and now it’s their turn to watch League 1. On Saturday they have to visit Alianza in Matute, a duel where they defend the lead of the Clausura and should raise their spirits after this elimination.
