Due to the quick assumption of the position and the proximity of the match, Nixon Perea had very little time to prepare for the encounter against Universidad César Vallejo. However, despite this, the interim coach of Alianza Lima took a risky decision and changed the usual tactical scheme to try an unprecedented 3-4-2-1. Thus, although during the game he left more doubts than certainties, his changes in the second half served to rescue a point in Trujillo.
After the final whistle, the Colombian coach spoke with the media and analyzed the development of a very difficult match, where they found the definitive draw thanks to Pablo Sabbag's goal from the penalty spot. Alianza Lima did not have a good game and it is inevitable to think that they almost suffered their second loss in the Clausura Tournament 2023.
