Missed opportunity: Cecilio Waterman squanders chance to score the tie for Alianza Lima

After a series of rebounds inside the Universitario area, Cecilio Waterman was left alone in front of the goal to score the tie for Alianza Lima, however, he squandered a great opportunity.

At Universitario de Deportes they were aware that, after having gained the advantage in the first half (Andy Polo opened the scoring), Alianza Lima was going to come out with everything in the complementary stage in search of a tie. Thus, in the face of so much insistence, the ‘blue and white’ had an unbeatable opportunity from the feet of Cecilio Waterman, who wasted the 1-1 scoreline under the ‘merengue’ goal.

The Victorians were already playing with ten men due to the expulsion of Jiovany Ramos -after kicking Horacio Calcaterra-, so they tried to make the most of any possibility close to the goal protected by the Uruguayan Sebastián Britos. In this way, after a corner kick, the Panamanian striker was left one-on-one after a series of rebounds after a poor start by the student goalkeeper.

Unfortunately for the interests of Alianza Lima, Waterman felt very pressured and finished in a hurry, which caused his shot to go over the crossbar. The fans who filled the National Stadium could not believe it, because before their eyes it was 1-1 at a key moment of the match. Let’s remember that the Central American striker has two goals with the ‘Intimos’ shirt.
