Alianza Lima suffered their first defeat in the Guillermo Salas era by falling to Universidad César Vallejo. The blanquiazules missed the opportunity to become the new leader of the Clausura Tournament and now have 5 'finals' left to win the championship. One of the absentees in the match played at Mansiche stadium was Cristian Benavente.
Before the match against the poets, the 'Chaval' had played the last 15 minutes of the match against Universidad San Martín. However, on this occasion, he did not appear on the substitutes' list and did not travel to Trujillo. What happened?
According to the Líbero newspaper, Cristian Benavente was not with Guillermo Salas' team due to some discomfort in the Achilles tendon, which did not allow him to be at 100% in his physical condition and, therefore, he was not considered. Arley Rodríguez started in his place.
