This Tuesday, Lima Alliance has an important challenge at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium: he will face Atletico Mineirofor the fifth day of the group stage in the Libertadores Cup 2023. In other words, both institutions know that more than three points are at stake in the next 90 minutes, since the main objective is to reach the round of 16 of the international competition. And in the midst of all this great responsibility, Depor learned that Guillermo Salas has more than one headache to design his board. The reason? Three key absences.
To the disabled list for the commitment of this June 6 (Andrés Andrade and Gino Peruzzi) added endpoint name Gabriel Costa. The intimate attacker suffered an injury during training last Sunday, which is why he was not present at the work that the blue and white team carried out this Monday at the Esther Grande de Bentín sports complex.
Gabriel Costa He arrived at La Victoria at the beginning of 2023, with the aim of becoming a key piece of ‘Chicho’ Salas this season. At the local level, the Uruguayan winger recorded twelve games, where he scored four times and two assists. While in the Copa Libertadores he participated in two matches.
Prior to this comparison, Guillermo Salas mentioned that “you have to turn the page quickly (after the defeat against ADT). It was a difficult match, ADT is a good team, but we have to give it our all on Tuesday against Mineiro, which is our last chance to try to qualify for the Copa Libertadores round of 16”.
the need to win
Lima Alliance they must win the duel against Atlético Mineiro this Tuesday in Matute, to continue with their chances of competing internationally. After the defeat they had against Libertad from Paraguay, the intimate cast fell to the last place in group G with four points. However, if he adds three against the Brazilians, he could climb to the second box (as long as the ‘guaraní’ club falls against Athletico Paranaense).
Under this scenario, the blue and whites do not have a tie, as they would continue in last place if they only add one point (reaching only five units). In case Libertad draws or beats Athletico Paranaense, the Salas team runs the risk of continuing at the end of the group, hence the need to win, preferably without goals against and with two more scores, to have a better margin. so many on the table.
The duel between Alianza Lima and Atlético Mineiro will take place this Tuesday, June 6 from 7:00 pm at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium. The transmission will be in charge of ESPN and can also be seen from its STAR+ streaming platform. The details of this commitment and the minute by minute you will find in Depor.
