Alliance Lima qualifies for the 2022 Women's Football League Final
Alliance Lima qualified for the 2022 Women's Football League Final. The blue and white team defeated Sporting Cristal on penalties this Saturday, unleashing the joy of the fans at Alejandro Villanueva Stadium.
The squad led by Samyr Mendoza took the field with Sánchez, García, Miranda, Romero, Chuquival, Romero, Quesada, Arévalo, Tacilla, Otiniano, and Lúcar. With the support of their fans, the players put pressure on the opponent from the first minute.
However, the blue and white athletes were inaccurate in front of the goal and missed several scoring opportunities. On the other hand, the celestial team also had chances to score, but the defense of the Alliance Lima team looked very solid.
In this way, the match ended goalless and the winner was decided in the penalty shootout. During the shootout, Adriana Lúcar, Sofía García, Sandra Arévalo, and Neidy Romero scored their shots, but Yoselin Miranda missed her penalty, equalizing the score since Maca López had also failed at the beginning.
Then came Alondra Vílchez's turn, but goalkeeper Maryory Sánchez deflected the ball. Matute Stadium became a party as Alliance Lima qualified for the final and will seek back-to-back championships.
Now, the blue and white team awaits Universitario de Deportes or Carlos Mannucci. The match between the cream team and the Trujillo team will be played this Sunday at Mansiche Stadium.
