I threw in the towel and decided to spice this place up with knowledge you wouldn't expect to see on other football forums. I'll probably talk to myself a lot, but I don't care.
As an Universitario fan, I'll give my thoughts on todays game. Good and deserved 1-0 over Leon de Huanuco. We had a sloppy first half, but we we're dominant in the second. Canchita, Grossmuller, and Guarderas we're all fantastic today. Guarderas had excellent ball control, and made good passes. He's going to be crucial this season. Canchita came on in the second half, and has improved our creativeness as we only had Grossmuller in the first half. However all that said, I wasn't very fond of our defense or our attack line. Sloppy defense, and poor attack. Edison Flores wouldn't shoot for the love of him. I cease to understand why he kept on waiting. We missed so many good chances to shoot or cross, and he just refused to do it. German Alemanno had a very good chance early on in the second half but decided to make a sweaty pass to man marked Edison Flores. Its always good to make Germany-esque passes, however not when the other forward is well marked.
There were moments I feared Leon would equalize or score an early goal in the first half, but not the second. Only one chance involving Antonio Gonzales getting megged by Sotil for him to make a long ball to an unmarked offside man in the box. Not much to worry about though aside from that. Not sure how the stats will end up, but I was very happy with our performance. Also deserved red card for Leon at the end.
In other matches, Municipal returned to first division and got welcome by a 5-0 home defeat to Cristal with a debut hattrick by Pereyra (he has awesome goal celebrations) Alianza el cagon continued to be shit by losing to Sport Huancayo. Sport Loreto lost 4-2 to Union Comercio after getting promoted via Copa Peru, the "new and improved" Melgar lost their first game of the season away to Cienciano. Alianza Atletico lost 3-2 at home to Cesar Vallejo. Lastly, UTC beat Real Garcilaso in the first game of the season.
