Both of them Jimmy Pérez's — 7.91
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 7.91, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Franchesco Flores keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Alianza Atletico may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Cristian Penilla puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Alianza Atletico, and it is not being withdrawn.

The board have signed the man in the dugout to a longer contract, which says more than any statement of support. Stability is easy to promise and costly to keep.

Graduation day at Alianza Atletico
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Match5 Feb 2028
Alianza Atletico see off Cienciano
Three points for Alianza Atletico, 3‑1 the final word against Cienciano in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Alianza Atletico promote Alexander Santamaria from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Alexander Santamaria has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Cristian Mora steps up from the Alianza Atletico academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Cristian Mora has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

One of our own: Paolo Guerrero joins the Alianza Atletico first team
