Alianza Lima could not go beyond the 0-0 draw against ADT in a very even match played at Matute, a result that complicated the blanquiazules' aspirations to win the 2023 Clausura Tournament and become national champions without the need to play a direct final.
The team led by Mauricio Larriera left the field dislodged after the final whistle, but Hernán Barcos 'stood up to the bullets' in this difficult moment, leaving a message on his social media, where he made a tough reflection and asked for unity from the fans in the final stretch of the championship.
"Nobody said it would be easy. It hurts not to win. But let's keep going, we still have a path to travel. But all together. Up Alianza!", the 'Pirate' posted on his official accounts.
Hernán Barcos was not accurate against ADT
The 39-year-old Argentine forward was on the field for the entire 90 minutes of the match, where he had an unbeatable opportunity to score the winning goal, but to the surprise of the Alianza fans, he sent it over the crossbar. During the actions, he made two unsuccessful shots on goal.
