Libertadores Cup: What was the last starting lineup of Alianza Lima that defeated an Argentine team?

The last triumph of Alliance Lima against an Argentine club was 12 years ago and the opponent was Estudiantes de La Plata. The 'Íntimos' were led by Gustavo Costas while the 'Pincharata' team was led by Alejandro Sabella. That night, on February 18, 2010, the result was a resounding 4-1.

In that match, Alliance Lima gave a lesson to Estudiantes de La Plata after a superb performance by Wilmer Aguirre, the famous "Zorrito," who scored a hat-trick at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium. For this match, Professor Gustavo Costas fielded an impressive lineup that remained in the history of the white and blue club: Salomón Libman; Amilton Prado, Héctor Sosa, Carlos Solís, Édgar Villamarín; Jean Tragodara, Henry Quinteros, Édgar González, Joel Sánchez, Wilmer Aguirre, and José Carlos Fernández.

It is worth noting that Estudiantes de La Plata arrived in Lima as the champion of the 2009 Copa Libertadores and had a squad full of stars. However, Alliance Lima demonstrated a high level and this match remained in the history of the club from La Victoria. Now, the white and blue team wants to make history again by facing River Plate tonight, whom they hope to defeat.

In the 2019 Copa Libertadores, Alliance Lima made their debut against River Plate also at the Nacional stadium. The result was 1-1 after goals from José Miguel Manzaneda and Cristian Ferreira, in a match that Alliance Lima was winning until the 96th minute.
