Alianza Lima rescued a goalless draw against Colo Colo in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, in a match in which the team of Alejandro Restrepo preferred to defend himself rather than attack too much, something that generated criticism from Arturo Vidal, a figure of the Cacique.

“There is a matter of opinions, The team has been solid defensively In the three games we have had specific errors that have allowed us to add three in the first, in the second at least bring a point and in this we had a game plan that allowed us to add and in the second half we had our chances” , he pointed.
What’s coming for Alianza Lima

We will focus on the first to add three, to be close to the classification “We are in a very closed group, the differences are minimal,” said Alejandro Restrepo.
