Match

Cup progress for Alianza Lima

A 2‑1 win over Juan Aurich, a place in the next round, and the quiet arithmetic every supporter does on the walk home: how many more until a final?

Match

Alianza Lima win it in stoppage time

The board had gone up, the arguing had started, and then the ball was in the net in the 105th minute. Juan Aurich will replay every second of the added time for a week.

Market

Alianza Lima turn down Blau-Weiß Linz for Eryc Castillo

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Player ratings

Both of them Luis Ramos's — 8.56

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.56, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market

Federico Girotti wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad

Guillermo Viscarra falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Kevin Ruidiaz: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 2‑1, already talking about the next one.

Squad

Tempers go at Alianza Lima

Junior Dávila was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout

Luis Ramos has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Alianza Lima will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

In brief
