Alianza Lima Edges Los Chankas Behind Guerrero’s Two-Goal Performance
AP (Interstat) — AYACUCHO, Peru (Interstat) — Paolo Guerrero scored twice to lead Alianza Lima to a 2-1 victory over Los Chankas in a Peruvian Primera División match Wednesday at Estadio Los Chankas. The visiting side defied a pre-game projection that gave them a 59% chance to win, securing the result with Guerrero’s goals in the 44th and 61st minutes. Los Chankas cut the deficit in the 73rd minute on a goal from Isaac Camargo, but Alianza Lima held on for the win despite playing a man down after Ayrthon Quintana received a red card in the 84th minute. The match was a physical affair, featuring six yellow cards in addition to the sending off.
