Overview
- Alianza Lima lost 2-1 to Unión de Santa Fe in the Serie Río de la Plata, a preparatory friendly in Montevideo.
- An early back pass from Sergio Peña intended for goalkeeper Alejandro Duarte went in for the opening goal.
- At the 18th minute, Pablo Guede shouted at Peña to play forward, reflecting the coach’s push for a more attacking, front-foot approach.
- The match is viewed as non-decisive for the season, yet Peña’s role and the team’s buildup under pressure are now under closer review.
- Next up is Colo Colo on Sunday, Jan. 18 at 7:00 p.m. at Estadio Parque Viera in Montevideo, with broadcast on ESPN Premium and Disney Plus Premium.
