Alianza Lima played with River Plate in home condition as part of the first day of group F for the 2022 Copa Libertadores. The situation was going uphill for the 'blue and white' team, as it lost 1 to 0 at the National Stadium. In that sense, with the intention of going to look for the tie, Aldair Rodríguez put a heavy pressure on the visiting defense, but came in more than enough to commit a terrible foul against Robert Rojas and end up being expelled a few minutes from the end.
The action took place in 86 minutes, but just a few minutes earlier, Rodriguez himself made a powerful shot that correctly diverted Argentine goalkeeper Franco Armani to the corner kick. The 'intimate' ensemble was about to advance its lines to match the actions, until the unthinkable came.
