He could change history. Alianza Lima boasted a good showing in the Copa Libertadores and was close to defeat Athletico Paranense at the beginning of Group G. Guillermo Salas’ lead was clearly superior in the final sprint and the winger had one of the clearest chances Bryan Reyna. The footballer received an assist from Andrés Andrade after a quick ball-collector intervention and had a chance to deliver a goal pass Hernan boats j Frank Zanelatto, who were in the area.
A few days into the action, the Peru team’s speedy attacker spoke about the move and explained why he decided to go for the singles player and not activate his teammates.
“Against Paranaense, the last one gave me a chance, I was a bit exhausted and when I wanted to attack I had my head down and in the replay I saw that I had two of my teammates. If I lifted my head and had more air, could I get the passport,” he said for the GolPerú cameras.
On the other hand, regarding the Confidant’s performance against Furacao, the 24-year-old player expressed his dismay at the draw and mentioned that they will fight.
“We know it was a tough game, we can’t settle for a draw, we’ll see how it goes later, hopefully well (…). People came in, we knew it was going to be a tough game, we went in really strong from start to finish. I think the team is involved and we will fight to the end to be able to win, which will help us,” he concluded.
