Universitario vs Melgar Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Universitario were up against Melgar in the Apertura of the Primera Division in Peru on April 14. Universitario took the win with a commanding 4-1 result.

Kenji Giovanni Cabrera scored the first goal of the game on the 4th minute of the match, putting Melgar in front. This was followed by goals from Alex Valera, Jairo Concha and Jose Rivera, securing the 4-1 result.

As Universitario and Melgar meet again, the memory of Universitario's 1-0 win in their Primera Division Clausura match from 9 months ago still lingers. After a setback against Independiente Del Valle on April 9, Universitario are eager to get back on track in this match, but they remain winless over their last three matches. Improving their defensive organization could unlock stronger results, given that their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have struggled to keep opponents from scoring, conceding in their last four matches.

Melgar's current performances leave more to be desired as well, as they prepare for this match after a loss to Lanus in the Copa Sudamericana Group stage on April 10. Their defense has shown cracks, with goals conceded across three consecutive away matches.

This Primera Division Apertura clash shines a light on the players who have played crucial roles in creating and converting chances for Universitario and Melgar in this campaign. Universitario’s Jairo Concha and top finisher Alex Valera have played important roles in ensuring their attack, crafted under Fabian Bustos’s leadership, remains effective. Universitario’s top scorer in Primera Division Apertura, Valera, has two goals this season, as Concha continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with four assists. Supporting them are Jose Carabali, Andy Polo and Edison Flores, who have also chipped in with important goals and assists, adding depth to Universitario’s attack.

Meanwhile, Melgar’s attacking options, under Walter Ribonetto’s guidance, have been bolstered by Cristian Bordacahar and Kenji Giovanni Cabrera, the team’s top scorer, both of whom have contributed crucial goals and assists. Castro leads Melgar’s scoring charts in Primera Division Apertura this season with three goals, with Bordacahar contributing five assists to top their creative tally in the league. Melgar’s attacking depth is further showcased by Leonel Gonzalez, Tomas Martinez and Gregorio Rodriguez, who have each made valuable contributions this season.
