Although Lima Alliance had won the Opening Tournament with two dates in advance, he had not had the opportunity to celebrate with his fans and at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium. So, after having won 3-2 Deportivo Garcilaso at the close of the first stage of the championship, had to lift the title that corresponds to it.
From Fernando Legario’s final whistle, the lights of the Victorian venue went on and off, announcing that a real party would begin with all the ‘blue and white’ fans in the stands. One by one, the ‘intimate’ footballers jumped and ran from one side to the other as a sign of joy, until the official stage was finished for Josepmir Ballón to culminate with the entire protocol act.
The captain of Alianza Lima, seconded by Hernán Barcos as the most experienced of the squad, raised the plate that accredited them as winners of the Apertura Tournament. Meanwhile, the four stands at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium sang the most commemorative songs in the club’s history out loud.
This Saturday was a round night for those from La Victoria, because they not only beat ‘Rico Garci’ and celebrated one more title. And it is that Hernán Barcos, with his double, reached 37 goals and equaled the record of the Brazilian Rosinaldo Lopes as the club’s top foreign scorer. If the “Pirate” had entered the history of Alianza Lima long before, with this he continues to increase his legacy for posterity.
What’s next for Alianza Lima?
After lifting the Opening Tournament title in front of all his fans, Lima Alliance He will play again in two weeks when he receives Atlético Grau for the first day of the Clausura Tournament. This commitment is scheduled for Friday June 23 from 8:00 pm and will be held at the National Stadium.
