Aldair Rodríguez scored the equalizing goal in Alianza Lima vs. Athletic Alliance for League 1

Alianza Lima has been playing a very hard-fought match against Alianza Atlético on the difficult Sullana court for date 4 of League 1 2022, which had been 2-1 for the ‘churres’. Without a doubt, the heat is a very important factor to take into account, but even so, both teams managed to cause danger. In this, those led by Carlos Bustos do not give up and find the 2-2 thanks to a goal from Aldair Rodriguezwho scored after a corner kick and gives life to the ‘intimates’.

The play took place at 47 minutes, specifically in the second half, almost at the beginning. Yordi Vílchez launched a long ball for the attack, but defender Maximiliano Amondarain sent the ball to a corner kick. In that, Pablo Lavandeira prepared to execute him, when the referee admonished Hernán Barcos. Later, the Uruguayan charged in a play that seemed elaborate, as Vílchez pivoted the ball leaving Aldair Rodríguez totally alone, who only had to push it and thus score the temporary equalizer.

And it is that Rodríguez was quite uncomfortable for the “Vendaval” defense, which at times failed to contain the former Deportivo Binacional striker. In fact, in the first half, Rodríguez had already warned of the danger that he would cause, since was involved in a controversial play in the rival area that referee Michael Espinoza did not charge a penalty.
