Overview

• Peru’s appeals tribunal confirmed disciplinary sanctions from the clásico, keeping six-match bans for Néstor Gorosito and Rodrigo Ureña, four for Renzo Garcés, and two for Carlos Zambrano.
• Carlos Zambrano, absent in Alianza Lima’s 4-3 home loss to Deportivo Garcilaso due to suspension, complained about Universitario’s complaints and said “mejor que jueguen vóley,” remarks published by RPP and TV programs.
• Universitario figures pushed back: Aldo Corzo said the team prefers to “speak on the field,” Martín Pérez Guedes urged focus on playing, and coach Jorge Fossati downplayed the dispute.
• Álex Valera said his national-team withdrawal was medically verified, rejected claims of feigning injury or rifts with Paolo Guerrero or André Carrillo, and told Hernán Barcos the clásico incident “quedó en la cancha.”
• Following Peru’s elimination and the non-renewal of coach Óscar Ibáñez, Miguel Araujo urged less talk and more work, noting he stands with Pedro Gallese’s message rather than Sergio Peña’s pointed comments.
