Universitario beat Cantolao 3–0 in the first match of Liga1. Cantolao played with nine players from the 59th minute and that, somehow, made things easier for Universitario to open with victory this season.[20] At the Monumental stadium, the 'U' won 3–0 against San Martín with two goals from Nelinho Quina. The Uruguayan Álvaro Gutiérrez debuted with victory as the club's coach.[21] After two consecutive victories, Universitario suffered defeat in the heat of Lambayeque, losing 2–1 to Carlos Stein. Universitario started better in the match, where not only was the heat hitting hard, but the tall grass prevented them from developing a better game. Universitario never gave up, but the 0–0 would remain in the first half.
In the second half, Federico Alonso put Universitario ahead, then the Colombian Mena took advantage of a rebound and scored the tie. In the final minutes, both teams were very tired, but Carlos Stein took advantage of a mistake by defender Quina and scored the second goal.[22]
At home, the Universitario de Deportes team defeated César Vallejo by a score of 3–0. At 15 minutes Ángel Cayetano scored the first goal, Valera took advantage of a rebound left by the goalkeeper and with a shot he made it 2–0 at 37 minutes, at 72 minutes Nelinho Quina from the penalty spot would score 3–0.[23] After an early elimination from the Copa Libertadores, Universitario faced Municipal. In a new edition of the modern classic, Deportivo Municipal defeated Universitario 2–1.[24] In the sixth match, Universitario drew 1–1 at home against Cienciano. Piero Guzmán scored for Universitario, but Fernando Guerrero equalized in the second half for the cusqueños. This result allowed Universitario to add 10 points and stay in fourth place.[25] Deportivo Binacional defeated Universitario de Deportes 1–0, after an own goal by Quina. Universitario was six points away from first place. With the defeat, the club adds 3 games without winning.[26] Stepping on the accelerator in the second half, Universitario beat ADT 2–1 with two goals from Alex Valera. ADT played with 10 players from the 44th minute of the first half, Universitario won, reached 13 points and was in sixth place.[27] Universitario achieved a great away victory against Ayacucho FC, winning 2–1. Ayacucho opened the scoring with a goal from Quina, but Universitario prevailed after an error by goalkeeper Espinoza and a goal from Andy Polo in the final minutes.[28] In a Clásico that is remembered by the blue and white fans, Alianza Lima beat Universitario 4–1 at the Monumental. Two goals from Jairo Concha, one from Arley Rodríguez and another from Hernán Barcos were the goals for Alianza Lima, who had a marvelous afternoon. In one of the best 45 minutes that Alianza Lima had, he not only knew how to do damage with the ball, but he knew how to defend when things somehow became urgent in Angelo Campos' area.
With the partnership of Lavandeira, Benítez and Concha, Alianza Lima got tired of depriving a defense that was quite insecure in the first half. That was how, in the 25th minute of the game, Lavandeira gave the ball to Jairo Concha and with an excellent shot he scored the first goal.[29]
Alianza Lima won the Clásico because it was better on the field and that difference was also reflected in the score, since in the 30th minute of the game Jairo Concha received a pass from Lavandeira again and scored the second goal. Universitario, with the push of his team, found the discount in a misfortune by Pablo Míguez, who in his eagerness to intercept a cross from Santillán, ended up scoring his own goal. Alianza Lima, after very good associations, scored the third goal, it was from Arley Rodríguez, after a pass from Édgar Benítez. But another goal would come, this time from Hernán Barcos, who in the 79th minute of the game closed an excellent afternoon for Alianza at the Monumental.
