Play-offs

It seemed simple, but the important victory of Real Garcilaso 3-2 over Universitario was finally laborious. Emotions to a thousand in a match where the cusqueños were more effective than the limeños in the balance of the ninety minutes in Espinar. Ortiz, Ferreyra and Ramúa scored the goals for Garcilaso while Ruidíaz and Fernández scored for the U.^[4]

John Galliquio, player who was important in obtaining the 2013 national title.

In Lima, Universitario did what was necessary to reach the third final, the tiebreaker, in the most convincing way possible, beating Real Garcilaso 3-0 in the second leg of the Descentralizado definition. Guastavino, Fernández and Guarderas turned the Monumental stadium into a true carnival. At 6 minutes, a free kick is at Guastavino's feet, frontal, in three quarters of the field. With a notable shot, he left goalkeeper Carranza standing, and puts the difference without much urgency. Garcilaso was surprised. Then, Ruidíaz gives a pass to Fernández who, with a lot of free space ahead, lines up and beats Carranza. and finally, with 7 minutes left to finish the game, Rafael Guarderas scored the third.^[5]

Diego Guastavino was included in the ideal team of the 2013 Torneo Descentralizado.^[6]

A tiebreaker match had to be played, this match was played in Huancayo. The U came out to play at the height of Huancayo as if it were a game on the plain. With Guastavino starting this time, unlike the game in Espinar. At 51 minutes, the U scored the first goal through John Galliquio. At minute 63, Bogado scored the tie, this result was maintained, and the champion was defined on penalties. It was Néstor Duarte who, by scoring the penalty, gave the title to Universitario de Deportes.^[7]
