Piero Quispe was comforted by Josepmir Ballón after Universitario's hard win against Alianza Lima

Universitario de Deportes received one of the hardest blows in recent years, because it was thrashed 4-1 against Alianza Lima at home and with the whole stadium full. The magnitude of the defeat was reflected in the face of the 'cremas' footballers and Piero Quispe, one of the youngest in the squad, was affected after the final whistle and had to be comforted by Josepmir Ballón.

The captain of the 'blue and white' painting had a huge gesture with the young promise 'merengue'. Josepmir Ballón approached Piero Quispe and said a few words to him. This scene was recorded by the cameras and the video went viral on social media. Many fans of the 'U' applauded the action of the 'intimate' midfielder, but others criticized the captains of the 'cream' club, as they believe that they should have calmed their teammate.

Piero Quispe is one of those who tried the most in the last Peruvian classic, however he came across a very solid Alianza steering wheel with Ballón in the lead. Not only did he take the most initiative from football, but also from the attitude. In one play he was knocked down by Pablo Miguez, who kept the ball, but the 20-year-old footballer went to take the ball out of his hands to play fast.

It is not the first time that the Universitario academy has been hit hard with a defeat. This also happened when he was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores against Barcelona SC. He was seen with tears in his eyes. On that occasion he was accompanied by Joao Villamarín.
