Cecilio Waterman is Alianza Lima's eighth signing for 2024. The Panamanian will have his first experience in our country, but it will not be his first time in Matute. As you read, the 32-year-old striker set foot in La Victoria in 2015 during the night of the Blue and White Oath.

As journalist Marcello Merizalde also remembers, the Uruguayan team was also one of them Cecilio Waterman, who started as a starter and was substituted after the game. Now there was a small argument between the new signing of the Blue-Whites and Christian Cueva, who had scored the goal in Alianza's 1-0 win.

As you can see in the pictures, “Aladino” was fouled by one of the Fénix players. As he lay on the ground, Waterman approached with the clear intention of stepping on him. The video then shows a big fight that led to the expulsion of some footballers.
