Alianza Lima achieved a key victory in their aspirations to reach the top of the Clausura Tournament. With a double by Hernán Barcos, the victors defeated Deportivo Binacional 2-1 in Juliaca, in a match valid for matchday 17. For coach Mauricio Larriera, everything went as planned in the previous match to secure a victory that allows them to work calmly towards the penultimate round of the tournament.

"Much of what was planned worked out, but it all depends on decision-making, the attitude of the players, and we are satisfied because it was a very important result," he said.

"I am happy with the result, with the effort of the players, and for having achieved an important first objective, which was the accumulated table, qualifying for the group stage, and already being, in principle, in the final of the national championship," added the Uruguayan.

He also referred to the quality of 'Pirata', who has been the great figure of Alianza Lima both in the Clausura and throughout the last seasons.

"What he has been showing is somewhat miraculous, but apart from being a great professional, he is a great person. He is giving us the possibility to score goals, which is something we have been working on due to the lack of goals. Hernán is well-known, has a tremendous career, and I don't have much else to say," he said about the 39-year-old striker, who has scored 16 goals and provided 6 assists this season.

Finally, the former Peñarol coach referred to the end of the championship, which has Universitario as the leader with two more points. "Since we don't depend on ourselves, it is important to know the results of the opponents in each match. I try not to worry, but the pressure is on Alianza because we always have to win wherever we are, in this case, at almost four thousand meters and it has been a long time since we won there," concluded Larriera.
