Peruvian football team turns off the stadium lights as their rivals win the title at their home ground, leaving them in the dark. Universitario claimed their 26th title at the home of their bitter rivals Alianza, securing a 2-0 away win after a 1-1 first leg draw last week. The bitter response from Alianza plunged the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium into darkness just seconds after the final whistle, but the victorious Universitario players used mobile phone torches and camera flashes to continue their celebrations. The match was not without its share of drama, with some violent scenes between fans and safety concerns in the ill-lit stadium. Despite the petty response, Universitario’s long-awaited title win marks a significant achievement, taking them one championship clear of Alianza with 26 all-time crowns. The rivalry between these two successful sides dates back to 1928, and their encounters have always been heated, making this victory even sweeter for Universitario.
