Trouble in La Victoria. Alianza Lima’s win over Alianza Atlético de Sullana was overshadowed by the blackout in Matute, which forced the game to be suspended in the supplement. Although the remainder of the season continued the next day, the incidents at the stadium sparked a number of criticisms of the Blue and White side, with the club’s board stressing that they would take legal action against their kit supplier.
“Yesterday during the game against Alianza Atlético de Sullana there was a problem with the electrical equipment that we had commissioned to supply the light towers. Hiring electrical equipment services is a common practice of all teams in the country facing night games. As this is an unforeseeable event for the Alianza Lima club and the outsourced company is involved in it, we are taking the appropriate legal action,” they indicated in a statement uploaded to their social networks.

In this spirit, we would like to thank the fans who were present yesterday and left in a very orderly manner, as befits the country’s biggest fans,” they added.
