University of Chile had a tough visit to University in the Night Creamwhere they lost 3-0 during their time in Lima, Peru, filling themselves with doubts for the start of the 2026 First League.
The blues began suffering in the match, being totally dominated by the local team, who demanded Toselli and the blue defense.
A save by the goalkeeper and a shot on the post warned that the match would not be easy at all for Francisco Meneghini’s team.
For this reason, it was not surprising that in the first half the U was at a disadvantage, after a big mistake by Javier Altamirano, where Martín Pérez Guedes beat Toselli.

The U collapsed in Lima
The second half did not change at all, with the local team being the protagonist and taking the initiative in the friendly played on the night of Lima in Peru.
It was in the 55th minute when, in a counterattack that no one in the U managed to clear, Alex Varela took advantage of a series of rebounds to be alone and with the goal available to beat goalkeeper Ignacio Sáez, who entered with Toselli.
Something that was much more lapidary in ’67, when a cross shot was deflected by José Rivera, who scored 3-0 on a noisy night in Lima.
The U had no reaction and almost didn’t even get close to Manotas Vargas’ goal, so it was with all the prominence of the Universitario team.
A tough score that hits the blues, where on Friday they will take the field for the points when they clash against Audax Italiano.

The blues will appear at the Monumental stadium in Lima to face the locals, in the great summer squeeze before starting in the 2026 First League, where they debut on Friday against Audax Italiano.
For this reason, after the suspension of the duel against Racing and then playing behind closed doors against Santiago Wanderers, the U will experience its first duel with fans, although as a visitor.
