Alianza Lima has one foot in the final, thanks to winning the Torneo Apertura title, and also consolidated their position at the top of the Accumulated table. Despite that, they will have to play their last match of the Clausura on Sunday, October 29th, in the altitude of the city of Cusco against Deportivo Garcilaso.
Although they have clearer options to fight for the title, there are other factors that make this match more important. And it is about the good numbers that coach Mauricio Larriera has achieved since taking charge after the departure of 'Chicho' Salas.
Larriera and his unbeaten record with Alianza Lima
So far, the Uruguayan coach has not experienced defeat when playing away from Lima with his team. He has had the opportunity to play five games away from home and achieved three victories (Binacional, Carlos Mannucci, and Cantolao) and two draws (Cusco FC and Cienciano), numbers that undoubtedly encourage the loyal fan.
Mauricio Larriera has not lost playing in Cusco
In the two matches he had to play in the altitude of the Inca city, the Victoria institution did not suffer a defeat. Although they didn't manage to get all three points, they were able to secure a draw. These results came when they played against Cusco FC and Cienciano. Now, Larriera hopes to end the Peruvian tournament with a victory in such a difficult venue.
When and at what time do Alianza Lima vs. Deportivo Garcilaso play?
The clash between both teams is scheduled to take place on Sunday, October 29th, starting at 15:00 hours at the Estadio Inca Garcilaso de la Vega.
