Peruvian Liga 3 (Torneo de Promoción y Reserva) – July 19, 2026

Centro Social Pariacoto Edge Alianza Lima Reserves in Tight Contest

Centro Social Pariacoto secured a valuable 1–0 away victory over Alianza Lima’s reserve side at the club’s training complex in Lima. The result, decided by a solitary second‑half strike, provides a boost for the visitors in the fiercely competitive Peruvian third division.

Match Overview

Playing on a rain‑soaked pitch, both sides struggled to find rhythm in the opening 45 minutes. Alianza Lima Reserves, featuring several young prospects with first‑team experience, enjoyed the lion’s share of possession but lacked incision in the final third. Pariacoto, organized and compact, soaked up pressure and grew into the contest as the half wore on.

The deadlock was broken in the 58th minute when Pariacoto’s forward Raúl Huamán latched onto a through ball from midfielder Edwin Rojas, rounded the onrushing goalkeeper Luis Torres, and slotted into an empty net. Alianza pushed for an equalizer, hitting the crossbar through substitute Jhonatan Farfán in the 78th minute, but Pariacoto’s defense held firm.

Tactical Observations

Alianza Lima Reserves attempted to exploit width through full‑backs Matías Villanueva and Pablo Quispe, but Pariacoto’s wingers tracked back diligently, forming a five‑man defensive unit when out of possession. Pariacoto’s game plan revolved around quick vertical passes to Huamán, whose pace troubled Alianza’s center‑backs throughout. The winning goal came from exactly that pattern – a direct ball over the top that caught the high defensive line.

League Context

The win lifts Centro Social Pariacoto to 7th place in the 16‑team division with 15 points from 10 matches, keeping them in contention for the promotion playoff spots. For Alianza Lima Reserves, the defeat means they remain in 11th place with 11 points, nine points adrift of the leaders. Despite the loss, the reserves’ development remit means the result is viewed in context, but head coach Carlos Uribe will demand better game management from his young squad.

Pariacoto next face a crucial home fixture against Unión Tarapoto, while Alianza Lima Reserves travel to take on Deportivo Coopsol.
