Alianza Lima beat ADT 2-0 in the Clausura - 10 round of the First Division at Estadio Alejandro Villanueva. The hosts had already been top of the table, sitting on 56 points from 27 matches, while ADT languished in 17th place with 22 points. The result extended Alianza Lima's comfortable position at the summit.
Marco Huaman opened the scoring in the 44th minute. By then the game had settled into its pattern — Alianza Lima controlling possession, ADT deep and soaking it up. The visitors had only managed 52 attacks compared to the hosts' 125. And here's the thing: this was the kind of efficiency that separates the top side from those fighting to survive.
The match shifted in the 45th minute when Luis Pérez received a red card in the 45+3rd minute. ADT had already been struggling, losing three of their last five matches including a heavy 0-3 defeat to Melgar. To be fair, the visitors had tried to extend their midfield presence with a substitution for Juan Lucumi just before the break.
Erick Castillo doubled the advantage in the 46th minute, and the goal was confirmed by VAR in the 49th minute. Alianza Lima came for a cross he never reached, finishing a move that their dominance had been building toward. The hosts had created two big chances against ADT's zero, and this was the payoff.
The numbers told the story of control. Alianza Lima held 67% possession, completed 379 of 447 passes, and registered 10 corners. ADT managed just 156 successful passes from 227 attempts, with their goalkeeper forced into four saves. The visitors attempted 18 tackles against the hosts' 14, but could not break through.
Alianza Lima remain top of the table after 27 games, with 16 wins, eight draws and only three defeats. ADT sit in 17th place after 26 matches, their record of five wins and seven draws offering little comfort. The hosts had lost three of their last five before this match, but this result suggests they are closing in on a title.
