The second final of the Liga 1 2022 will be played this Saturday. Although last Thursday the information circulated that the National Police of Peru (PNP) was evaluating withdrawing the guarantees for the match Alianza Lima vs. Melgar due to incidents between blanquiazules fans and the Dominó team, this Friday it was confirmed that said match will have police protection.
"The PNP will take all measures related to the match that will be played tomorrow (Saturday). It is a final and it should be a celebration. We are here to contribute to this spectacle," declared General PNP Manuel Lozada, head of the Lima Police Region, to Canal N.
Lozada indicated that approximately 1,600 police officers will be deployed around the Alejandro Villanueva stadium. He added that they will intervene with people who commit criminal acts posing as fans and made a call to avoid violence.

"This is sport, a celebration where children, mothers, and fathers come to witness a football spectacle. We must come to applaud, complain or cry, but this is football, not violence," invoked the General PNP. Both Alianza Lima and the Liga 1 organization joined the request through social networks.
Final Alianza Lima vs. Melgar will have only local fans
Just like in the first leg match, only the local club will be allowed to enter the stadium for this return match. The official account of the victoriano team reminded of this.
