Ampuero has an outstanding advancing potency which combined with his precise shot make of him a constant threat on an attacking position.

[1] Ampuero made his official debut for Universitario de Deportes on 1 September 2011 in a Copa Sudamericana elimination match against Deportivo Anzoategui, at the age of 18.

[2] Starting at the left back position, his debut was a memorable one as he managed to score the first goal in the 2–1 away win for his club and was voted man of the match.

This was also his first official goal, which was scored in the 30th minute by dribbling past his defender and shooting a strong left-footed shot into the bottom-right corner of the net.

Ampuero made his Torneo Descentralizado debut on 17 September 2011, against Sport Boys away to the Estadio Miguel Grau.
