Club Alianza Lima: The Dominator of the 2017 Peruvian Football Season
The Club Alianza Lima was the clear dominator of the 2017 Peruvian football season, as they made clear by winning the national title after conquering the Apertura and Clausura Tournaments.
The Key Players of Alianza Lima in the 2017 Season
In that campaign, the team had different important elements in their starting eleven, such as Leao Butrón, Luis Aguiar, Alejandro Hohberg, Kevin Quevedo, among others.

However, the substitutes also met Pablo Bengoechea's expectations as the Alianza coach. We can highlight the name of Daniel Prieto, who had the difficult task of replacing Leao Butrón on several occasions.
The goalkeeper played in 12 matches that season and kept his goal unbeaten 4 times, only conceding 14 goals. This was enough for him to receive his champion medal of the Torneo Descentralizado (now Liga 1) at the end of 2017.
After winning the championship with Alianza Lima, the goalkeeper continued at Matute for the 2018 season, where he played two matches in the Copa Libertadores: against Palmeiras from Brazil and Boca Juniors from Argentina. With Prieto guarding the three posts, Alianza drew 0-0 with Boca and lost 2-0 to the Brazilian team.
Daniel Prieto in the 2022 Season
After losing the national final in 2018 against Sporting Cristal, the now 26-year-old goalkeeper did not continue at La Victoria for the 2019 season, and since then he has played for teams such as Deportivo Llacuabamba, Deportivo Municipal, and Union Comercio in the Liga 2 in 2022.
With the Nueva Cajamarca club, Prieto has not been able to establish himself and is far from his best moment. So far in 2022, he has only played in one match, which took place on July 17th against Sport Chavelines and ended in a 0-0 draw.
