Last minute goal and draw: Sashenka Porras equalized 1-1 in Alianza Lima vs. Deportivo Lara.

With the score down for Alianza Lima against Deportivo Lara, and after making four changes, coach Samir Mendoza decided to send Sashenka Porras onto the field. And her entry proved to be fruitful. The young footballer, very close to the end of the match, scored a great goal that meant the final 1-1.

In the second minute of stoppage time, the 17-year-old athlete found the ball and advanced several meters until reaching the area and, already in a comfortable position, finished with her right foot, with great skill. Along the way, Porras left three opponents behind.

In that way, Porras saved Alianza Lima from what seemed to be a defeat in the first matchday of Group D of the Copa Libertadores Femenina. In the celebration, the player couldn't avoid tears of emotion, while being hugged by her teammates.

“We wanted the three points. At first, it didn't happen. We had opportunities and didn't take advantage of them. In the second half, with more calmness, the goal came,” said Sashenka Porras after the match for the Conmebol channel. She was a substitute and entered the field of the Gonzalo Pozo Ripalda Stadium (Quito) in the 77th minute, replacing Estefanía Cartagena.

Alianza Lima, who didn't have their top scorer Adriana Lúcar due to injury for this match, will have to turn the page on the draw against Venezuelan Deportivo Lara and think about their next challenge. The 'Íntimas' will clash with Chilean Santiago Morning on Monday, October 17, at 5:15 p.m. (Peruvian time).
