Overview

• Universidad de Chile won 2-1 in Coquimbo to eliminate Alianza Lima in the Sudamericana quarterfinals, ending the club’s international run.
• Gorosito explained Quevedo’s non-start as “things of training, football and life,” while journalists Michael Succar and Diego Rebagliati reported disciplinary issues such as tardiness.
• Commentator Eddie Fleischman and sections of the fan base blamed Carlos Zambrano’s first‑leg red card for undermining the tie, fueling debate over the defender’s conduct.
• Pedro García backed Gorosito’s hardline message on focus and discipline, arguing the coach was right to set standards through his selections and public remarks.
• CONAR reassigned the referee for Alianza vs. Cienciano, replacing Kevin Ortega with Jhonathan Zamora due to Ortega’s U‑20 World Cup duty, as players like Hernán Barcos and Pablo Ceppelini called for reflection before the Liga 1 return.
