Alianza Lima faces FBC Melgar this afternoon in the city of Arequipa for matchday 16 of the Apertura Tournament. 'The intimates' know that if they manage to win in this difficult venue and Universitario doesn't score against César Vallejo in the Monumental, they will be crowned as the champions of the first half of the year.
Remember that there is an 8-point advantage for the Alianza team over their compatriots from Universitario, which is why Jorge Fossati's team knows that they no longer have room for error in these last few matches.
Regarding this new commitment, someone who commented on it was Franco Zanelatto, who was called up by Guillermo Salas for this crucial match in the blanquiazul institution.
"We are the ones who should have the least pressure because we have a good advantage... we have a margin that if we don't get it in Arequipa, we know we have it at home", said the 'Bicho' Zanelatto affirming that there are no pressures in Alianza due to the margin of error they have thanks to the standings.

"Obviously it's going to be tough. Melgar, although not having a great Apertura, still has some great players and it's going to be difficult, especially in Arequipa", added the Alianza player from the Jorge Chávez Airport about the Arequipa team.
