Ruidiaz Set for Showdown Against Alianza Lima on May 10

Lima, Peru – Raúl Ruidiaz is gearing up for a highly anticipated match against Alianza Lima this Saturday, May 10, at the Estadio Nacional. This encounter marks a significant moment in Ruidiaz’s career, as he aims to lead his team to victory in the 12th round of the Torneo Apertura 2025.

The striker has a notable history against Alianza Lima, having scored the decisive goal in a classic match nearly a decade ago. In that memorable game on April 13, 2016, Ruidiaz netted the only goal during a 2-1 victory for Universitario over their rivals in Matute. This match was particularly historic as it had to be suspended the previous month due to heavy rain, which caused the first game on April 1 to finish at a 1-1 draw.

Ruidiaz expressed excitement about returning to face Alianza Lima again. “Every match against Alianza is special, and I’m ready to give my all,” he said. Fans are hopeful that he can replicate his past success and secure a much-needed win for Universitario.

As the teams prepare for this clash, both sides are looking to solidify their standings in the tournament. Universitario will aim to leverage the home-field advantage and build momentum as the season progresses.
