Alianza Lima wins without convincing their fans after a tight victory against Blooming

Alianza Lima achieved a narrow victory against Blooming, but failed to convince their demanding fans. Despite dominating possession and taking the initiative for much of the match, the team did not manage to translate their superiority into a convincing scoreline. Under the command of Alejandro Restrepo, the team surprised by changing their tactical scheme, opting for a 4-3-3 formation instead of the usual 3-5-2. However, this modification was not enough to improve the team's collective performance. Despite having key players like Sebastián Rodríguez, Catriel Cabellos, and Hernán Barcos, who played important roles in the match, the lack of an effective formula to reach the opponent's goal was evident. 'Bigote' Rodríguez's performance was particularly negative, as he failed to make a difference in the creation of play. On the other hand, Hernán Barcos, known for his goal-scoring ability, did not have his best day and missed the few clear opportunities he had to score. One of the positive points was the performance of Carlos Zambrano, who despite not having done the preseason with the team, showed security in defense and was key in building up play from the backline. His return to the starting eleven demonstrated his importance in the team's scheme. In summary, Alianza Lima managed to secure the victory, but raised doubts about their collective performance. The lack of a clear game plan and the limited effectiveness in attack are aspects that need improvement if they want to convince their followers and aim for more ambitious goals in the future.
