Sports University could not maintain its positive streak and fell 2-0 against Cusco FC in the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega stadium, by the 11th of the Opening 2025 tournament. The cream team, which had been leading the table with authority, was overcome by the effectiveness of the local box in the Cusco height, although it remains as the only pointer of the contest with 23 units.
The first goal came just before the break, when the Argentine Facundo Callejo took advantage of a precise center of Iván Colman and, with a lethal header, defeated goalkeeper Sebastián Britos. Already in the second half, the “U” tried to react, but an error at the exit of Jorge Murrugarra was taken advantage of by Nicolás Silva, who attended Callejo to seal his double.
Despite the stumble, University continues to lead the opening and now focus on its next international challenge. This Thursday, May 8 will receive Independiente del Valle for the fourth day of the Copa Libertadores, a key match for its aspirations in Group B of the Continental Tournament. The coach Jorge Fossati must adjust pieces to face both fronts with solidity.
Went to 16th place
On the side of Cusco FC, the triumph consolidates it in the seventh position with 16 points and allows it to dream more positions in the remainder of the championship. His next commitment will be against Deportivo Garcilaso in the expected classic of the imperial city. The team led by Miguel Rondelli will seek to continue adding at home to get into the fight for the first places.
