history

The following year, Universidad did not have that difficult anymore, made it to fourth place and qualified for the Copa Sudamericana for the first time . There they met Coronel Bolognesi in the first game and lost 0-1. In the second leg, the team prevailed 3-2 with goals from Fernando del Solar and Oscar Villareal , but were eliminated due to the away goals rule.

Although they only came in seventh place in the second half of the season, the overall championship was won for the first time with a total of 71 points. The decisive factor was the better goal difference compared to pursuers Club Sportivo Cienciano . The guarantors for this success were Pedro Alejandro García with 15 goals and Hernán Rengifo and Mario Leguizamón with 14 goals each. In the Copa Libertadores 2008 / group five the successes failed the following year and they were eliminated with only two wins as bottom of the table. Biggest triumph was a 2-0 home win against the Argentine club CA River Plate .
