Noche Crema: the frequent interest of the ‘U’ by Colombian rivals, whom it could never beat

After a season with many ups and downs, academic he found in the closing what he so badly needed: peace and quiet. This is how the ‘U’ wants to start and remain throughout 2022 and, therefore, all the details for the Night Cream, where he will raise the curtain on a new and expectant campaign.

The other countries that have attracted the attention of the ‘U’ for its night show have been Chile and Uruguay. The cream institution played four times against Chilean teams and three times against Uruguayans.

A track record to change

On a night as special as that of his official presentation, academic He has always sought a triumph that draws smiles on the faces of his fans who accompany him incessantly. However, not everything has been happiness in the 15 editions of the Cream Night.

The merengue team has only achieved five wins in this own event, while drawing seven times and losing four. .

In 2009 this story began. The ‘U’ faced none other than Independent Santa Fe. In principle, a few minutes were played due to a blackout that forced the suspension of the match. Thus, the duel resumed the next day and a goal from Yovanny Arrechea (25 ‘) gave the Colombian squad a 1-0 victory.
