Anger at Universitario spills outside the ground
It has stopped being a mood in the stands and started being something organised. Boards can ignore a bad atmosphere for a long time; they cannot ignore this stage of it for very long at all.

Miguel Yotun damages knee ligaments — 58 days out
The words a physio says slowly. 58 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

The wait goes on for Universitario
10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

A fracture rules Bautista Mazieres out for 80 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Universitario will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Joseph Opoku wants to know where this is going
“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Universitario hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Joseph Opoku in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Universitario this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

A bad afternoon for Universitario against Melgar
0‑1 to Melgar, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

No place for Ariel Molas in the plan
“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Ariel Molas has his answer from Universitario; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Luis Polo pulls a muscle — 14 days out
The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.
