South American giants in incredible display of ‘pettiness we can all get behind’ as arch rivals win Arsenal-style title
PERUVIAN fans witnessed the most unbelievable scenes during the derby between Alianza Lima and Universitario.
The two rivals faced off on Wednesday in a crucial Liga 1 clash at Alianza’s Estadio Alejandro Villanueva.
Universitario won 2-0 to seal their first championship title in 10 years thanks to goals by Edison Flores and Horacio Calcaterra.
And of course the visitors broke into passionate celebrations once the referee’s final whistle blew.
That was when Alianza appeared to pull an unbelievable act of “pettiness” against their foes.
The stadium lights went off and the ground was plunged into darkness preventing La U from celebrating.
Fans around the world were left absolutely stunned by that move from the departing champions.
SunSport columnist Piers Morgan joked the same could happen if Tottenham seal the Premier League title against his beloved Arsenal at the Emirates.
Morgan tweeted: “I’d like to think we’d be just as petty if Spurs won the League at our place.”
And other fans took to social media to join in on all the fun as they were left in stitches with that shocking display.

Another commented: “Football is a game of passion, joy, and pettiness.”
A third wrote: “Ahahahaha I hope we are not this petty, if Everton ever win league at Anfield.”
This fan said: “They ain’t playing.”
And that one stated: “Some pettiness that I think you can get behind?…”
Universitario, though, wouldn’t let that get in their way as they continued to celebrate in the dark.
