Inter Miami struggled against Lima. Alianza took control of the match from the start and showed why they are one of the most prestigious teams in Peruvian football. With Messi, Luis Suarez and Rodrigo de Paul on the field, Herons looked bewildered, unable to coordinate defensively, with little control in midfield and unable to get a shot on goal. On the other hand, the ‘Ariancistas’ took advantage of their home advantage and scored three goals, completing a heavy defeat for the reigning MLS champions.<\/p>\n
Paolo Guerrero’s double<\/h2>\n
The star of the match was Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero, who scored twice and proved that despite being 42 years old, he still has gunpowder in his shoes.<\/p>\n
The first goal came after a series of rebounds, preceded by a botched attempt to get past the Herons, before Paolo Guerrero beat the Falcons in the air and scored into an empty goal.<\/p>\n
The second goal came a few minutes later. Alianza grabbed the rebound and Jose Paolo Guerrero made another great collective play to score again against a slumping Miami side.<\/p>\n
Alianza Lima beats Inter Miami<\/h2>\n
Already in the 60th minute of the second half, Cantero had a clear chance to make it 3-0 in front of the goal, but he extended the ball under control and was unable to finish comfortably under pressure from the Falcons, and the ball ended up on one side of the goal.<\/p>\n
The team in pink tried to close the gap by persistently aiming at Luis Suarez, but the striker’s aim fell short and he missed a clear chance when he volleyed the ball incomplete inside the area.<\/p>\n
Minutes later, Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Rodrygo de Paul were substituted, and Miami’s participation was immediately called off. However, Alianza continued to aim for the opponent’s goal, and in the final stages of the match, Ramos scored the third and final goal of the game with a deadly counterattack, ending the Peruvian team’s onslaught.<\/p>\n
Javier Mascherano’s side will play Atl\u00e9tico Nacional in Colombia on January 31st, and will conclude their South American tour with a match against Barcelona de Guayaquil in Ecuador on February 2nd.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
