It is no secret that Sport Boys is going through its best moment of the season. However, Alianza Lima did not expect to be so surpassed from the first minute and, as a result, the 'rosados' found a quick advantage at the Nacional stadium. Jesús Barco once again showed that he is one of the leaders of Fernando Gamboa's team, scoring the 1-0 with a great finish.
The play started from the last line of the 'Misilera' with a long pass from Oliver Benitez. The Argentine defender saw Barco free and did not hesitate to enable him behind Yordi Vilchez, who did not calculate well and allowed the 'chalaco' midfielder to control the ball in the area. One on one with Ángelo Campos, Jesús only had to finish on one side to secure the 'rosada' advantage (15').
This 1-0 changed all the equation of Guillermo Salas, who from the bench will have to urge his players in search of the draw. Given Sport Boys' evident superiority, 'Chicho' could bet on the entry of Andrés Andrade. The Colombian midfielder has not played since May 15 and, after recovering from the knee injury that was affecting him, he hopes to add minutes this afternoon.
Alianza Lima vs. Sport Boys: what's next for them
After this match for matchday 4 of the Clausura Tournament 2023, Alianza Lima will play again next week when they have to host Universitario de Deportes for the fifth match and a new edition of the Peruvian soccer classic. This match is scheduled for Saturday, July 22, starting at 8:30 p.m. and will be played at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium, located in the Matute neighborhood.
Because both the 'blanquiazules' and the 'cremas' are in the fight for the Clausura, this match could determine the fate of one of them in their goal of winning the national title at the end of the year. Let's remember that when they faced each other in the Apertura, the 'Íntimos' took the victory with a 1-2 with goals from Pablo Sabbag and Gabriel Costa. Luis Urruti scored the consolation goal that day at the Monumental.
Sport Boys, on the other hand, will also play next week when they visit Carlos A. Mannucci. This match is scheduled for Sunday, July 23, starting at 3:30 p.m. and will take place at the Mansiche stadium, located in the city of Trujillo. When these two teams faced each other in the Apertura, the 'Tricolor' took the victory with a 1-0 thanks to a goal from Raziel García.
