Alianza Lima, one of the most popular and important teams in Peruvian football, was condemned to relegation this Saturday after losing 2-0 to Sport Huancayo in the ninth and last day of phase 2 of League 1.
In an unprecedented way, the ‘Intimo de La Victoria’, directed by Argentine Daniel Ahmed, lost the category in the first division, precisely the one he helped found in 1912 and in which he has been champion 23 times.
Second decline in the history of Alianza Lima, after the one suffered in 1938. Much encouragement to all its followers and hopefully they will return very soon. https://t.co/59pDvB0oU0

Sport Huancayo, which is in the round of 16 in the Copa Sudamericana, opened the scoring with Marcio Valverde in the first half and Paraguayan Carlos Neumann scored the second starting the complementary part. Carlos Ascues lost the opportunity to open the scoring for Alianza when he missed a penalty and another header from him was also saved by the Huancayo goalkeeper.
Hours before the match, hundreds of Alianza Lima fans approached the vicinity of the National Stadium with banners to encourage their team and blocked vehicular traffic in the area, while the Police tried to restore order. However, after the result, the fans reacted with indignation and the Police reinforced the protection of the team to avoid a lack of control.
On social media, fans of the Blue and White team expressed their anger at the poor campaign and attributed the failure to its leadership and a weak attitude of its players.
Along with Alianza, Atlético Grau also says goodbye to the first division, which drew 1-1 with Alianza Universidad, while Carlos Stein saved the category by equaling 1-1 with UTC from Cajamarca.
This year, League 1 decided that three teams would descend to the second division, the first of which was Llacuabamba de Puno, which finished last in the accumulated table of the year with 20 points. For their part, Alianza Lima and Atlético Grau added 26 integers when completing the 28 games scheduled in 2020.
