Universitario de Deportes triumphed 2-1 over LDU Quito in a friendly match held at the Estadio Monumental, but the game was marked by an intense clash between Sekou Gassama and Deyverson. The tension escalated after a foul by the Brazilian forward on Jorge Murrugarra, prompting Gassama to confront him. The altercation nearly spiraled out of control, requiring the intervention of other players to separate them. Gassama, who scored a standout goal in the match, expressed his displeasure with Deyverson’s actions, who seemingly chose not to respond to the Senegalese’s aggression.
This match served as preparation for both teams, who are looking to fine-tune their strategies ahead of their respective commitments in Liga 1. Universitario is gearing up to face Alianza Lima in the first clásico of the year, scheduled for Saturday, April 4. The anticipation for this encounter is high, as both teams compete for the top spot in the standings. As we reported in this note, Universitario remains in the title race, and their recent victory over LDU bolsters their confidence for the upcoming challenges.
