Daniel Prieto: Alianza Lima's Rising Goalkeeper

He just turned 20, but he looks older. When they told Daniel Prieto that he had to prepare to replace Leao Butrón and George Forsyth in the Alianza Lima goal, he didn't see it as an imposition or pure luck, but as an opportunity to earn his spot.

That's how Daniel Prieto is, the young goalkeeper of Alianza Lima who has silenced his critics. He had already been given the responsibility of guarding the Alianza Lima goal in two matches and he was decisive against Alianza Atlético. Just three minutes into the game, he saved a penalty from 'Malingas'.

"I feel very good. It's a dream for me to be here, but I take it with a lot of responsibility and I'll go step by step. Thankfully, the first match helped me gain confidence," said Daniel Prieto, who was key in his team's last victory.

In fact, Daniel Prieto didn't just do that in the match, because after making the spectacular save against 'Malingas', the Alianza Lima goalkeeper assisted Gabriel Costa to score the second goal for the team. "I always try to do my best and give everything for Alianza. That penalty filled me with confidence for the rest of the match," he added.
