<p><strong>Universitario De Deportes</strong> are <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/peru" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Peruvian</a> champions, they did so by defeating their bitter rivals <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/alianza-lima" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Alianza Lima</a></strong> 2-0 at the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva and 3-1 on aggregate.</p>



<p>As soon as the final whistle of the referee sounded the Universitario players were ready to jump in celebration when the entire stadium went dark. The club was forced to celebrate in pitch black darkness, with fans still inside the stadium trying to make their way out.</p>



<p>The irresponsibility and little control led to street violence outside the stadium between the two supporters’ groups. The trophy could not be presented on the field to the Universitario players, and one player stated, <em>“it was a complete mess”.</em></p>
