Hernán Barcos showed his talent in goal during the match between Alianza Lima vs. Ayacucho for matchday 18 of the Clausura Tournament of the Liga 1. The referee decided to expel Ángelo Campos and the 'Pirate' was chosen to take over this role on the field.
Although he only played for a few minutes, the player's leadership earned him applause from thousands of fans on social media. In fact, many called him "the best foreign player in the history of Alianza Lima."
"He knows it all," "Where should we put up a monument for him?" "Can they renew him for another 10 seasons?" and "stay at Alianza forever" were some of the comments on social media. In addition, many highlighted the time when Ángel Comizzo didn't want him at Universitario.
It's worth noting that Alianza ended up defeating Ayacucho 1-0 and became the leader of the Clausura Tournament with just one matchday left. In this way, the íntimo team depends on itself to become the champion.
The club's last match will be against Asociación Deportiva de Tarma (ADT), which will take place at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium. If they win this match, they cannot be caught by Sporting Cristal in the standings.
