The top scorer Sebastián Pineau, who scored two goals in regular time, but missed his penalty, declared after the final whistle.
"What can I say, you always have to keep your head up. You have to go out there and show your face. I could have scored in the match, but I missed in the penalties and I am grateful to the team," he began by saying to Nativa TV.
Furthermore, Pineau stated that this Saturday they will show why they are the biggest team in Peru. "Melgar showed that they are a great team, but we are Alianza Lima and we have to prove that we are the best team in Peru," he asserted.
