The Argentine scored another brace as Alianza Lima defeated Binacional 2-1 away from home to remain competitive in the final stretch of the Clausura Tournament
His presence has been more decisive than ever. Hernán Barcos once again established himself as the major figure of Alianza Lima, who defeated Deportivo Binacional 2-1 in Juliaca, in a match valid for matchday 17 of the Clausura Tournament.
The top scorer of the 'intimos' referred to this significant victory and his personal performance, fundamental for the current Peruvian champion to stay in the race for the second phase of the local championship.
"I am very excited about everything we did, everything we experienced. There were many difficulties to get here. Many people didn't believe that we were going to win. With 39 years old, without playing at high altitude for a long time, being old, they said I couldn't play at high altitude. There it is, 90 minutes and two goals. That's commitment and dedication. The desire that one puts into this shirt, just like the whole group," said the 'Pirate'.
"Don't count us out. We will fight until the end. Binacional was a tough opponent and the weather was complicated. Let's never give up. We achieved our first objective, which was to qualify for the final. Now, we want to go for the second one, which is winning the Clausura," Barcos concluded.
Alianza Lima is in fourth place in the table with 33 points, two points behind the leader Universitario de Deportes. With two matches left to close the tournament, everything is still up in the air.
