Yordi Vílchez, from the own goal in Arequipa to unleash the party in Matute

Soccer has things that only Yordy Vílchez could explain. From lamentation in Arequipa to jubilation in La Victoria, from lying in the UNSA to rising above everyone in Matute. The defender scored at the end of the first half the goal that equalized the series between Lima Alliance and Melgar in the League 1 final.

Because Yordy became the undisputed starter in Alianza due to his strength in defense, but he brought his contribution to the opposite area. He is an attack weapon. This time he scored his first goal of the season, but he has three assists to his credit.

His pivots turned into a goal pass, his headers into celebrations. He had the misfortune of scoring an own goal in Arequipa, but in Matute he found his revenge. He anticipated everyone with a header at the near post to make it 1-0 for Alianza.

Alianza’s central defenders have become a weapon and in this final they confirm it. Vílchez and his goal that adds to his three assists. Pablo Míguez has 4 goals and an assist in his statistics. In other words, between the two men who defend the blue and white portico they have collaborated to score eight goals.

Alianza seeks to overcome the final against Melgar and Yordi Vílchez’s goal allows them to dream of the title. He has one more goal to score and he has the second half to do it.
