The Venezuelan striker with Peruvian roots, Jeriel de Santishad minutes in the tie Lima Alliance against Colo Colo, for the third date of Group A of the Libertadores Cup.
Although it was the Chilean team that proposed more in attack, the blue and white team, who this time wore green, had an unbeatable chance to score at the end of the game and it was lost at the feet of the tall attacker.
This generated a series of criticisms and, upon his return to Lima, Jeriel did not avoid the issue and expressed his confidence in ending his scoring drought.
“They will always criticize you, but I can still show more, I know that. We hope things can happen soon,” he told the media.
“It’s a hoot but we leave with a bitter taste. We could win it, but it escaped us because of the goal that I couldn’t score,” said the 21-year-old forward.
Finally, he said that Colombian coach Alejandro Restrepo told him that he must continue working and that the goal will come soon.
Alianza Lima, despite only having two points in three days of the tournament, remains in the fight for a place in the round of 16.
