Alianza Lima stun Estudiantes in Libertadores

(GSM) – Defending Copa Libertadores Estudiantes of Argentina crashed to a very surprising 4-1 defeat at Peruvian outfit Alianza Lima on Thursday.

Following their 5-1 trashing of Juan Aurich in their Libertadores opener, Estudiantes thought to be on their way to a similar result when Jose Sosa put them ahead in the very first minute of the match.

But it was then that Alianza forward Wilmer Aguirre began to show his influence, scoring in the 18th, 34th and 74th minutes to hand his side a comfortable lead.

Jose Fernandes finished it off with a fourth home goal in the 84th minute.

Alianza lead Group 3 with six points from two games, followed by Estudiantes with three points. The other two teams in this group, Juan Aurich and Bolivar, play each other on Wednesday, February 24.
