Alliance Lima defeated Melgar 2-0 at Matute and became champion of the Liga 1, for the second consecutive year. After the final whistle by referee Bruno Pérez, the 'Blanquiazule' began the celebrations and coach Guillermo Salas was involved in a fraternal scene with Jefferson Farfán and Cristian Benavente.
The euphoria was total in the victoriano club, given that they managed to overcome the negative scenario of the first leg (1-0 defeat) and came back in the series with their fans. 'Chicho', who took over as coach after Carlos Bustos' departure, was one of the happiest and congratulated each of his players present on the field.
Precisely, while greeting everyone, Guillermo Salas ran into Jefferson Farfán, who was his teammate during his playing days. The current coach exchanged some words with the 'Foquita', who was noticeably emotional, perhaps remembering that the last time Alianza Lima was a champion was with both of them on the field (2003-2004).
Cristian Benavente, absent due to injury, was also in the same place and received a strong hug, with banter included, from 'Chicho'. The coach has established a good relationship with his players.
The gesture of the fans and Barcos to 'Chicho' Salas
Likewise, the Alianza Lima fans dedicated a special chant to Guillermo Salas, who walked across the Alejandro Villanueva stadium field giving signs of gratitude with his hands. Hernán Barcos joined the celebration and decided to carry his coach, while the support of the fans continued.
