Alliance Lima lost again in Copa Libertadores 2022. The team visited Colo Colo at the Monumental Stadium in Chile and lost 2-1. The Cacique was far superior to the Peruvian team for most of the match, and even could have won by a larger margin.
When the match was 2-0, the team led by Carlos Bustos started to encourage themselves to try to get a goal and subsequently the equalizer, but they only managed the former thanks to Edgar Benitez's goal. Josepmir Ballón, captain of the team, reflected on the defeat.
Words from Ballón
"“We paid for not going for the match earlier, I think we respected Colo Colo too much. Then we realized that we could hurt them and that it was difficult for them when we attacked, I think it was a bit late,” said the midfielder, according to Ovación."
"“We gave everything, we gave it our all. It's tough for us to suffer two consecutive defeats, but we have to get up because there are still matches left and we have to do better,” he added."
