Wed Feb 12 23:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Alianza Lima Aims for Libertadores Qualification Against Nacional
**LIMA, PERU** – Alianza Lima will fight for a place in the next stage of the CONMEBOL Libertadores after a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Nacional de Paraguay in the first leg of the Phase 1. The Peruvian team hopes to secure victory in the second leg this Wednesday, February 12th, at 7:30 PM COL/PER/ECU time at the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva (“Matute”).
Under coach Néstor Gorosito, Alianza Lima is known for its high-pressure, fast-paced style of play, especially at home. Their strategy will likely involve an early goal to shift the pressure onto Nacional, who showed a willingness to cede possession in the first leg.
However, Alianza’s defense must be wary of Nacional’s attacking wingers and their ability to deliver crosses into the box. Midfield solidity will also be crucial, as this area was heavily exploited by Nacional in the first leg.
The match will be broadcast live on Disney+ for viewers in South America. A win would send Alianza Lima to the next round of the prestigious Libertadores tournament.
