Alianza Lima did not stand idly by after the harsh sanction by Conmebol against Aldair Rodríguez and made the corresponding appeal. The 'blue and white' team wants to count on the striker for the remainder of the Copa Libertadores and was based on up to three specific reasons to try to reduce the dates.

Aldair Rodriguez was the protagonist of one of the strongest injuries so far in Libertadores. The Peruvian striker entered the brand of Robert Rojas with great force. The Paraguayan winger ended up with a fractured tibia and left fibula.

Therefore, according to information from PRP, the South American Football Confederation notified the current League 1 champion that Aldair Rodríguez will not be able to play five dates in the international competition, so the remainder of the group stage of the current edition would be lost. This did not go well in La Victoria and immediately the 'intimate' directive put forward the arguments against punishment.

According to Pamela Ríos, ESPN journalist, Alianza Lima relied on the following: First, the way the injury happened. “In a video you can see that his foot is hooked in the grass, which makes the fault that Aldair Rodríguez made him more serious,” said the communicator.

Second, the referee's decision, since he initially showed yellow cardboard to the 27-year-old footballer and later changed it to a red card. This shows that the referee was not very clear about the fault. Finally, the former Deportivo Binacional player had never been expelled in his sports career.
