Alianza Lima and Athletico Paranaense drew without goals in the first round of the Copa Libertadores.

Although the match had emotions from start to finish, there was one person who was able to fulfill his wish this afternoon, and it is none other than Felipe Scolari, who was world champion with the Brazilian national team.

And it is that the current assistant to Paulo Turra had indicated before the match that he was eager to see a player he admires in Alianza Lima and stressed that he longed to give him a hug for the great friendship they have had for years.

This was able to happen minutes before the referee starts the action, since during warm-ups, he approached the blanquiazul field and had a touching encounter with Hernán Barcos, whom he admires for the kind of athlete he has shown during his professional career.

As it is known, Scolari and Barcos coincided in the 2012 season, when the popular 'Pirate' defended the colors of Palmeiras and had a brilliant period after scoring several goals. Moreover, they affirmed that the forward was a great contribution and one of the most important elements to win the Copa do Brasil.

Finally, it is important to remember that Hernán Barcos won the affection of Brazilian fans and many references because not only did he win the aforementioned tournament with Palmeiras, but he was also able to do it years later wearing the shirt of Gremio.

When is Alianza Lima's next match in the Libertadores?

After a goalless draw with Athletico Paranaense, Alianza Lima now has to prepare to play against Libertad, on April 20th, starting at 9:00 PM, at the Tigo La Huerta stadium.
