Lima Alliance won 1-0 to Boca Juniors In the first leg of phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores and Fernando Gagocoach of the Buenos Aires team, he fit it badly. His team gave a bad image. Four minutes from the start of the match, Boca was surprised by a goal that went crazy at the ‘Alejandro Villanueva’ stadium, known as Matute.
The Uruguayan Ceppellini was fast and managed to rescue a rebound of goal Agustín Marchesín after a play by Peruvian defense Erick Noriega. Shortly after, the game was paralyzed by a blow that the Peruvian Kevin Quevedo, from the local team, received in the hip and caused it to leave the field of the countryside.

During the first half, Alianza had other goal opportunities and both Argentine Hernán Barco and Ecuadorian Eryc Castillo failed a couple of gunfire to goal. Meanwhile, Boca barely starred in attack plays, and without a doubt the Xeneizes noticed the absences of Edison Cavani, Marcos Rojo, Luis Advíncula and Ander Herrera. Fernando Gago could not have players like Ignacio Miramón, Sergio Romero, Nicolás Figal and Tomás Belmonte, which made everything more complicated. The technician, out of his own, hit Exequiel Zeballos. “Start running because I get you shit!”
In the second part, Boca Juniors came out with more force, but they had no clear goal chance. One of the best among visitors was goalkeeper Agustín Marchesín, who stopped in the 55th minute a shot that went to goal by one of the new players of the Alliance, his compatriot Alan Cantero. Both teams fought for the victory and the tension between the players was felt, which caused several yellow cards for the two sets.
