Alliance Lima defeated Melgar 2-0 at Matute and became the champion of Liga 1 for the second consecutive year. After the final whistle from referee Bruno Pérez, the 'Blanquiazules' started the celebrations and coach Guillermo Salas had a warm scene with Jefferson Farfán and Cristian Benavente.
The euphoria was total in the victorian club, given that they managed to overcome the negative outcome of the first leg (a 1-0 defeat) and turned the series around with their fans. 'Chicho', who took over as coach after Carlos Bustos' departure, was one of the happiest and congratulated each of his players on the field.
Precisely, while greeting everyone, Guillermo Salas came across Jefferson Farfán, who was his teammate during his playing days. The current coach exchanged some words with the 'Foquita', who was visibly emotional, maybe remembering that the last time Alliance Lima was bicampeon was with both of them on the field (2003-2004).
Cristian Benavente, absent due to injury, was also in the same place and received a strong hug, teasing included, from 'Chicho'. The coach has established a good relationship with his players.
The gesture of the fans and Barcos towards 'Chicho' Salas
Likewise, the Alianza Lima fans dedicated a special chant to Guillermo Salas, who walked around the Alejandro Villanueva stadium field signaling gratitude with his hands. Hernán Barcos joined the celebration and decided to carry his coach, while the support of the fans continued.
