Alianza Lima and River Plate, finally, will play at the agreed time from the beginning and with an audience at the National Stadium. Both teams experienced hours of uncertainty in the run-up to the events taking place in Peru with President Pedro Castillo at the helm. At some point, the Argentine team even thought about not traveling. However, the commitment will be played with fans and there are still free tickets.
Pedro Castillo declared compulsory social immobilization shortly after Monday ended and doubts began to be created around the duel for Copa Libertadores. The reaction of the Peruvian citizen was not long in coming and they had already proposed marches, pans and more acts to show their position against the president. All this happened in the next few hours. In addition, other people took advantage of the situation to carry out various acts of violence in various parts of Lima. Looting, destruction of public premises and more could be observed.
Several hours before the end of the curfew (11:59 p.m. on April 05), the Peruvian boss decided to terminate the immobilization and since then many situations began to clear up. It was even decided to play Sporting Cristal vs Flamengo at the last minute, without an audience for events in downtown Lima. But in the Lima vs River Plate Alliance will be played as agreed and with fans encouraged. A whole day after a series of disasters.
Finally, Alianza Lima and River Plate will meet this Wednesday, April 06 from 07:00pm (Peruvian time) at the National Stadium in Lima as part of the first date of group F of the Copa Libertadores. These two teams have already met several times and last time the 'Millionaires' won 3-0 in Buenos Aires.
