Overview

• Alianza Universidad beat Alianza Lima 2-1 in Huánuco with goals from Joffré Escobar after 1 minute and Yorleys Mena at 47', offsetting Eryc Castillo’s first-half equalizer.
• VAR ruled out two Alianza Lima goals for tight offsides against Hernán Barcos and Eryc Castillo during the first half.
• Hernán Barcos was sent off in the 56th minute for an aggressive action against Paolo Fuentes and then argued on the field with referee Jordi Espinoza.
• Espinoza is expected to include Barcos’s conduct in his report for the FPF Disciplinary Commission, which under Article 187 could lead to a suspension of up to four matches for verbal abuse.
• The result leaves Alianza sixth on 18 points and effectively out of the Clausura race, while a late high boot to Renzo Garcés drew only a yellow card with no VAR review.
