Alianza Lima went all out and didn't take long to score 2-0 against Carlos A. Mannucci at the start of the second half of the grand final of the Liga Femenina 2022. Sandy Dorador, who scored the first goal of the night, served a great pass to Heidi Padilla who didn't hesitate and shot it across to beat goalkeeper Valdivia.
The action took place around the 50th minute of the game. The defense of the 'Carlista' team cleared the ball, which ended up at the feet of the home team. Sandy Dorador lifted her head and filtered a pass to Padilla, who was coming with great speed from her own half.
The midfielder's pass caught the Carlos A. Mannucci defense off guard. This was taken advantage of by the Venezuelan footballer, who advanced quickly and connected a powerful shot across to the right post of goalkeeper Valdivia, who, despite her stretch, couldn't prevent the partial 2-0.
