Carlos Zambrano: “Yes, it is a clear offside, but that is out of our hands” | VIDEO

Last Monday May 15, Lima Alliance came back and beat Deportivo Municipal (2-1) on date 2 of the Opening Tournament of the League 1 2023 and was one step away from winning the first title of the year. However, this match was not immune to controversy, since the Blue and Whites’ second goal came offside.

When Hernán Barcos pivoted the ball for Carlos Zambrano, he was ahead. The linesman made a mistake, let the action continue and the ‘Kaiser’ scored the final 2-1 in the epilogue of the game played at the Alejandro Villanueva de La Victoria stadium.

After the game, Carlos Zambrano spoke to the media and referred to this action that gave a lot of talk on all platforms. “It is a shame that the referees are wrong, whether for or against Alianza Lima, and we hope they correct that issue. Sometimes we have to see ourselves harmed by the referees and that is not why we are going to be crying. I saw the action of the second goal and yes it is a clear offside, but that is out of our hands”, said the central defender.

On the other hand, he gave his analysis of the match against the ‘Ediles’. “I think that we won this game with Municipal more with desire than with play. In fact, in their goal I made a mistake that put it in the angle. It was something incredible, but thank God the team recovered quickly just like me and I was able to help the group to turn the score around. You can tell that this group is right in the head. This victory leaves us calm but we still have four finals to go, ”he pointed out.

“The truth is that I didn’t think of scoring two goals in this game, but after the mistake made I went forward to try to vindicate myself, and now I know the emotion that Hernán and Sabbag feel every time they score in Matute”, added the former Boca Juniors.

“I don’t care what they say in the ‘U’. I don’t care what they think. Here the referees have unfortunately made mistakes in all the matches and hopefully they will correct them for the good of Peruvian football. We worry about what Alianza does and we have four finals left, and wanting them to win all four, we cannot trust ourselves”, stated Carlos Zambrano.
