Overview

• Lucas Assadi struck in the fifth minute and Javier Altamirano doubled the lead early after halftime before Eryc Castillo cut the deficit to seal the 2-1 result.
• The match at Estadio Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso was held without fans as the Chilean side serves a CONMEBOL punishment reported as a 14‑game ban on spectators.
• A 0-0 first leg in Lima set up the decisive return in Chile, with Universidad de Chile advancing 2-1 on aggregate.
• Alianza’s selection choices were pivotal: Alan Cantero started ahead of Kevin Quevedo, suspended defender Carlos Zambrano was absent, and Quevedo later assisted Castillo off the bench.
• Coach Néstor Gorosito said Quevedo’s omission was down to “things of football” and disclosed Pedro Aquino asked to skip a pre-match training session because he felt extremely tired.
