Carlos Ascues returned in a great way to the starting lineup of Alianza Lima. The 25-year-old defensive midfielder started in the initial eleven of the victory team in the match against Alianza Atlético de Sullana in Matute and scored a goal. Once again, number 6 appeared in the opponent's area to score.
It was the 42nd minute, when Rinaldo Cruzado stole the ball from the visiting team. The ball went to Gabriel Leyes, who couldn't control it, and the rebound ended up with Ascues. The midfielder took a few steps to enter the area and shot the ball in a crossway.
The goalkeeper Steven Rivadeneyra couldn't do anything to deflect the trajectory and Carlos Ascues scored again. The former Peruvian national team member had been injured and missed the last three matches of Alianza. That's why he dedicated his goal to Juan Jayo and the club's doctor, Hugo Blácido.
