Peruvian Super Classic

The Peruvian Super Classic ("Superclásico Peruano") or the Classic of the Classics of Peruvian Football ("El Clásico de los Clásicos del Futbol Peruano") is the name given to Peru's biggest football local derby between Universitario de Deportes and Alianza Lima. The rivalry between these two clubs started on their first game on September 23, 1928 when the two first faced off in a violent game. Both clubs come from the capital city, Lima.

History

The first Super Classic took place on September 23, 1928 between Federación Universitaria and Alianza Lima. Alianza Lima was the favorite of the game because Federacion Universitaria was a fairly new club, founded only four years ago and 1928 being their first year in the first division. However, Federacion Universitaria won the game with an early goal during the first-half at the seventh minute by Pablo Pacheco. By the eighty-first minute, Alianza Lima had lost 5 players to red cards and the game was suspended by the Uruguayan referee Julio Borelli. The violence was also seen in the stands between the fans of Federacion Universitaria and Alianza's players. Fans threw canes at the players and because of this the first classic is nicknamed "El Clásico de los Bastonazos".
