Alianza Lima regained the top spot in the Accumulated table after a victory against Sport Huancayo. The match, which took place last Wednesday at Matute, gave a respite to the team for the remainder of their participation in the Clausura Tournament. It was Hernán Barcos who scored the goal at the 58th minute to bring the party to the Victoria colossus.
After the victory, midfielder and captain of the Blanquiazul team, Josepmir Ballón, stated in a press conference that the triumph against the 'Rojo Matador' helps the team further strengthen the playing style brought by the new coach Mauricio Larriera, and they already have their sights set on the next match they will have to play.
"Emotionally, the victory helps a lot, it helps us believe in what we do, in the coach's work. Beyond the advantage in the standings, we are working on recovering our teammates and thinking about the next match," Ballón said.
In addition, he assured that he and his teammates appreciate the arrival of the Uruguayan strategist and hope to soon recover the injured club members. "I feel good, all the teammates have received the coach's ideas very well, I think it can be seen on the field, there is still room for improvement, we have to pursue our objectives, we must think about the next game, recover quickly, try to recover our teammates, and think about what lies ahead," he said.
Hernán Barcos left the match injured
The 'Pirate', the author of the goal, had a strong collision with the Sport Huancayo defender and was left injured for several minutes, so the Alianza Lima doctors decided to take him off the field on a stretcher. Nicolás Amasifuén, the 18-year-old youth, came on as a replacement.
