“They no longer see us as the ‘ugly duckling’”: Sandy Dorador’s conclusion after the elimination of Alianza Lima

Alianza Lima said goodbye to the Copa Libertadores Femenina after falling (3-1) to Corinthians in the quarterfinal stage. The elimination, in fact, left the members of the Peruvian team sad. One of those who evidenced this was Sandy Dorador, who could not help crying.

“I keep all the effort we put in until the last one. We knew that the rival was going to be difficult. Anyway, we went out to play as equals. They no longer see us as the ‘ugly duckling’. They know that the Peruvian team is up for more, so I think we lacked a little more pressure “commented the athlete for the Conmebol channel.

Dorador also appreciated the effort of the group and thanked them for their support. “I remain with all the effort of the girls, the group, the technical command, the fans, who came from Peru to support us, from our families, from all of Peru that supports us. I keep all the effort of the group”, He indicated.

“We wanted more, we were close, but we have to keep working. Peru has more and this is important for women’s football in Peru ”, sentenced Dorador, who scored the goal of the partial tie for Alianza Lima in the match against ‘Timao’.

Alianza Lima, champion of the 2021 Women’s League of Peru, qualified for the second round, thanks to the second place it occupied in its series. The ‘Intimas’ lost to Deportivo Cali in their debut and, after that, they achieved two consecutive victories, at the expense of the University of Chile and Real Tomayapo.
