They seemed like locals, but only with the fans. Alianza Lima came with everything to secure the result in the third round of the Clausura Tournament against César Vallejo. However, the poets made their home field count and took the three points thanks to Santigo Silva's hat-trick.
Although they managed to equalize in the last minute of the first half, the blanquiazules failed to maintain or surpass that result, as the poets took advantage of defensive errors to score two more goals in the second half. This generated the viralization of funny memes in a matter of minutes.
Some of them are classics that always come back to life in each encounter of the íntimos, with well-known characters such as 'Chavo del Ocho', Pablo Bengoechea himself, and even Pedro Gallese, who starred in the second own goal by the íntimos, failing to save the rebound that was capitalized by Silva.
