It may not have much success to show for it, having only reached the semi-finals twice in the 1970s, but the Alliance Lima has experience in Copa Libertadores.
The Peruvians have participated 29 times, including this year’s, in the institution, although the truth is that in recent years they have not had many successes.
Instead, they run one incredible negative record, which keeps growing!
You see, after losing 1-0 at home to Atletico Mineiro earlier in the day, they have completed 18 matches and eleven years without success in their field in a struggle of the institution.
On March 14, 2012, Alianza beat Nacional Montevideo 1-0 but since then their performance has been 0-5-13with a 2-1 away win over Libertad Asuncion in April being their first away win since ’12!
So it makes sense that they have to go beyond the group stage from 2010…
It is worth noting that the second worst record also belongs to a team from Peru, with Sport Boys to have scored 16 home games without success between 1967 and 1981.
Consecutive home matches without winning the entire history of the Copa Libertadores:
[18] Alianza Lima ???? (2012-?)
[16] Sports Boys ???? (1967-2001)
[12] Deportivo Tachira ???? (1980-1985)
[10] Defensor ???? (1977-1990)
[10] MarÃtimo ???? (1988-1992)
[10] Penarol ???? (1989-1996)— MisterChip (Alexis) (@2010MisterChip) June 7, 2023
