On the other hand, the intimate squad didn't hesitate to speak out one day after the tough defeat in Arequipa and posted a touching message, considering that they still depend on themselves to shout champion in the first part of the national championship.
"Fans and players = One (heart)", they placed on their official Twitter account and accompanied it with Pablo Sabbag's goal against the red and black team.
With that, it is clear that the 'team of the people' does not plan to give up, instead their intention is to redeem themselves in the match they will have to face against Binacional at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that if Alianza Lima manages to overcome the 'Powerful of the South' and Universitario ties or falls in Cajamarca against UTC, the intimate team will automatically be the champions of the Apertura Tournament. Otherwise, they will still have the advantage of having points difference compared to the cream team.
When does Alianza Lima vs. Binacional play?
Alianza Lima vs. Binacional will play on Sunday, May 28th, starting at 20:30 hours, for matchday 2 of the Apertura Tournament.
