Alianza Lima won this Sunday, July 10th, against Atlético Grau in the first round of the 2022 Clausura Tournament of the Liga 1. The team scored their first three points in the tournament with goals from Cristian Benavente and Pablo Lavandeira.
The Blanquiazul team aims to win this tournament, as it is their last chance this year if they want to aspire to the bicampeonato.
Both the players of Alianza Lima and Carlos Bustos know that they need to win on all fields in order not to fall behind Sporting Cristal in the Clausura, and Melgar in the overall standings.

Alianza Lima's statistic broken against Atlético Grau
Alianza Lima's goal for the 2022 Clausura Tournament is to win in every round, and that includes outside the capital.
Therefore, in this first round, they ended a terrible statistic that they had since March: not registering a victory outside Lima.
It took them four months to break this bad streak. They tried against Alianza Atlético, ADT, Binacional, Melgar, and Sport Huancayo. All those matches ended in defeats for the Alianza players.
