Lima Alliance added a new tie in the CONMEBOL Libertadores, in the third in this edition. This time it was at home and it meant an agonizing draw against Cerro Porteño by date 4 of Group A. Juan Iturbe marked for the visit, but Hernán Barcos made the final 1-1 at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium. The duel could be seen live on Star+ (only for South America).
At 26 minutes the blue and white received the visiting goal. The Paraguayan team was more driven and intense and with a left cross towards the area, they found Iturbe well positioned, who was finally able to hit him with the man and beat Ángelo Campos.
Only after 80 minutes of the game did equality arrive. It was a stopped ball and the person in charge of centering was Sebastián Rodríguez, one of the most even in Alianza Lima. In height he won very well Hernan Barcos and, despite being far from the goal, he put the ball in the corner to start the celebration in Matute.
How did the Blanquiazul fare in the Cup?
With this tie, Alianza Lima adds 3 points in Group A, but still last. However, the other teams are not far behind. This Thursday play Fluminense and Colo Colo and some could get a certain advantage. If the Chileans win, they would add 7, while if it is a victory for the Brazilians, they would have 8 points. Cerro has 5 points. The blue and white still have options with two remaining dates, one at home and another in Brazil.
