Alianza Lima
Alianza Lima lost the biggest opportunity to be the leader of the 2023 Clausura Tournament and to continue with important chances of winning the 2023 Clausura Tournament after only achieving a hard-fought goalless draw against ADT at home.

After the result, Mauricio Larriera spoke to the media, where he surprised by making it clear that they never relied on themselves throughout the championship, although they got involved in the fight for good results in past matches. However, he still has faith in winning against Garcilaso and awaiting the results that will allow them to be national champions without playing a final.
"The Clausura issue has never depended on us, when we arrived we were quite far from the top, we were getting good results and ended up fighting for it. We still have rivals to play, from a mathematical point of view it looks quite complex but it will be defined on the last day by all the teams involved. We have to do our job and then wait," said the Uruguayan coach in a press conference.
What needs to happen for Alianza Lima to keep their chances of winning the Clausura?
Alianza Lima does not have the first option to win the second tournament of the year. In order for the title to end up in blanquiazul hands, they will have to win against Garcilaso and hope that Universitario only earns one point in their next two matches, as well as Cristal getting more than two units and Melgar defeating Binacional in Juliaca.
Alianza Lima: next match
From now on, the victorian team will have Deportivo Garcilaso in their sights, whom they will face next week (date and time to be determined) at the Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega in Cusco for the last round of the Clausura. For this match, Carlos Zambrano and Franco Zanelatto could make their return to the starting eleven, as they did not play against ADT due to injury.
