The upcoming match between Alianza Lima and Universidad de Chile in the Copa Sudamericana quarterfinals is set for Thursday in Coquimbo, with both teams aiming to advance to the semifinals. The first leg ended in a 0-0 draw in Lima, and this second leg is crucial as Alianza Lima needs a win to progress, especially since the match will be played without fans due to a sanction. Alianza Lima, coached by Néstor Gorosito, has shown strong international performance, having eliminated Gremio and Universidad Católica, but faces challenges such as the absence of expelled player Carlos Zambrano. Universidad de Chile, under Gustavo Álvarez, has been praised for its collective play, with Roberto Palacios favoring the Chilean team slightly, citing their better collective game but warning about the impact of playing behind closed doors. The match will be broadcast on multiple channels across Latin America and the US, with kickoff times varying by region. The game is seen as a decisive step for both teams, with Alianza Lima seeking to make history and Universidad de Chile aiming to return to the semifinals since 2011.
