The joy at the Peruvian two-time champion was complete, and Conmebol, through its social media channels, published a video from the field at the precise moment of the final whistle of the Alianza Lima match.
"This is how Alianza Lima celebrated their victory against Libertad, returning to triumph in the Libertadores after 30 matches," Conmebol said in the midst of Guillermo Salas and his players' celebration at the Defensores de Chaco Stadium.
It is worth mentioning that the South American football entity announced on Friday that Alianza Lima striker Pablo Sabbag is part of the ideal 11 for the second round of the Libertadores.
Goals by Sabbag and Aldair Rodríguez
Sabbag was one of the standout players for Alianza Lima in Paraguay. He scored his first goal in the 2023 Libertadores and did it in an amazing way, with a left-footed shot that curved to make it impossible for goalkeeper Martin Silva to save it.
