Could Alianza Lima lose points? Alianza Atlético filed an appeal.

Alianza Lima added their fourth consecutive victory in the same number of matches in the Clausura Tournament, which now makes them the absolute leaders of the competition. The latest triumph of the 'Blanquiazules' was against Alianza Atlético, in a very eventful game: it started on Tuesday night at Matute stadium, but there were problems with the lighting in the second half, the actions were suspended, and the match had to conclude the next morning.

The circumstances caused discomfort for 'Vendaval', as there was a plan to return to Piura in the early hours of Wednesday. Even the northern club stated after the suspension of the match, ensuring that they would travel as planned and would not accept the rescheduling that the authorities were considering.

However, Alianza Atlético reversed their initial stance and attended to play the remaining minutes of the match against Carlos Bustos' team, although the board was not happy with the events and revealed that actions were taken regarding everything that happened.

"Yesterday (Wednesday, July 27) at 6:00 p.m., our institution filed an objection for the events that occurred in the match against Alianza Lima. Sincerely, the Board," the Sullana team reported through a statement on Twitter.

According to RPP, the intention of the 'Churres' authorities is to obtain the points from the defeat against Alianza Lima (1-0, with a goal from Pablo Lavandeira). For now, the Professional Football League has not commented on the matter.
