Alianza Lima doesn’t give up in the face of adversity. In the 37th minute of the game against Atlético Grau, the familiar team found a partial 1-1 draw thanks to a penalty kick Gabriel Costa, who converted after Edinson Chávez’s great move to win the foul. ‘Gabi’ didn’t hesitate to get in front of goalkeeper Raúl Fernández, whom he fooled by sending the ball to the opposite side of the side he started. With this conquest he added his third goal in the opening tournament and is one of the forwards in the squad along with Pablo Sabbag.
The winger’s goal came at a happy moment as the blue and whites were not only down on the scoreboard but also lost two injured starters to Christian Cueva and Yordi Vílchez. However, ‘Chicho’ Salas’ men were able to calm down at half-time to level the score.
