Alliance Lima is the leader of the Apertura with 15 points, but this Wednesday they face Melgar, who is another contender to fight for the tournament title. For the coach of the team, it is important to bring a victory from Arequipa to remove 'Domino' from the path.
"The match we will play with Melgar will be vital. It would be good to have a 7-point advantage," said Pablo Bengoechea in a press conference. The red and black team currently has 11 units and is in fifth place.
The coach of Alliance Lima wants to secure the lead. "Having a 7-point advantage in the tournament would be very important because we are halfway through the tournament and the top positions are starting to be defined. If we lose tomorrow (Wednesday), everything would get more complicated," Bengoechea added, who has already served his suspension and will return to the bench.
About Melgar, he commented: "We know they will be a very tough rival due to the quality of players they have in their squad. They almost always play with two forwards, base their game on the wings, and have a good aerial game. Without a doubt, these are factors that we will take into account."
After playing in Arequipa, the white and blue team has six matches in our capital. "We have the same schedule as Cristal, so it won't be an easy competition."
