The Fierce Peruvian Clásico

Let’s travel to South America. More specifically to Peru. Feel free to visit the website 1xBet – all sports betting online is available on all matches that are played in that part of the world too. This nation has the Peruvian Clásico, also known as the Clásico Peruano.

This is the derby between the 2 most popular football teams in the nation. The 1st of them is Alianza Lima, and the other is Universitario de Deportes. There is great all-online sports betting at 1xBet, where wagers can also be made on those 2 squads too.

A more than 100-year-old rivalry

The rivalry originated more than 100 years ago back in the early 1900s. The 1st of those 2 teams to be established was Alianza Lima, in 1901. It reflected mostly working-class sectors of Peruvian society. The modern team of Alianza Lima can also be wagered if you visit the so.1xbet.com/line/football website.

23 years later, Universitario was founded in 1924. Contrary to Alianza Lima, it reflected mostly the more affluent society which could afford to send their children to university. That’s the reason for the name as well. Since then, the 2 teams began to have a fierce rivalry that remains to our day. Right now you can go to 1xBet to wager on all great editions of this electrifying derby too.

 

The modern rivalry is quite different, as the 2 squads tend to have big supporting bases across all sectors of society.

A crazy derby

The 1st match ever between these 2 teams took place on the 23rd of September 1928. Universitario won the match 1-0. However, the contest ended early, as plenty of Alianza Lima players got sent off after complaining excessively to the referee. It is always possible to watch 1xBet live streaming football and enjoy the best matches between those 2 teams.

In total, 5 players were sent off, which included:

  • Miguel Rostaing;
  • Juan Rostaing;
  • Julio Quintana;
  • Alejandro Villanueva;
  • and Alberto Soria.

A brawl ensued after this. This shows how fierce and crazy this derby would become as the years passed by. Now, approximately 100 years after this first encounter, Universitario has a slight edge over Alianza Lima. As of 2023, the teams have seen each other 371 times, with 83 victories for Alianza Lima, 124 for Universitario, and 106 draws. The live football streamings from 1xBet can always be watched if you want to follow the best matches from these 2 squads and other teams from Peru as well.
