Sun May 11 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Universitario Faces Crucial Match Against Alianza Atlético in Liga1 Showdown
**Lima, Peru** – Universitario de Deportes, currently leading the Liga1 Apertura tournament, faces a crucial match this Sunday against Alianza Atlético de Sullana. The top-of-the-table clash is considered the most attractive fixture of the week. A victory is essential for Universitario to maintain their lead and their hopes of winning the Apertura title and ultimately the Liga1 championship.

Potential starters include substitutes like Dulanto and Ancajima, with the possible return of Martín Pérez Guedes.
Alianza Atlético, buoyed by a 2-0 win over ADT in their previous game, arrives in Lima for their first match in the capital this tournament. Their attacking threat includes Miguel Graneros and former Universitario player Horacio Benincasa.
The match will be broadcast exclusively on GOL Perú, available only through Movistar TV and its streaming service, Movistar Play.
The game promises to be a fascinating encounter, with Universitario needing a win to stay on top, while Alianza Atlético will be looking to cause an upset.
