sports college, of Argentine coach Carlos Compagnucci, defeated Alianza Lima 0-2 this Sunday, which suffered a severe setback in the return to active football of veteran striker Jefferson Farfán.
Universitario de Deportes showed great defensive solidity and opportunism to strike and win the Peruvian soccer classic during their visit to Alianza Lima’s “Alejandro Villanueva” stadium.
The creams were left with the victory thanks to the scores won in the second half by defender Leonardo Rugel and striker Alexander Succar, the latter from a penalty.
The triumph of the U took the shine off the return to the playing fields of Jefferson Farfán, who after a prolonged injury entered the game after 84 minutes without being able to do much to change the result against the classic rival of the Alliance.
With this result, Universitario reached 17 points, four less than the leader Sporting Cristal, and displaced Alianza from fifth position in the Clausura, due to goal difference.

Grau also added 21 points, although he moved to the second position for the lowest goal difference, after drawing with ADT, who opened the account through Colombian Kevin Serna and then Joao Villamarín tied.
