Alianza Lima and ADT confirmed their starting lineups for Friday, September 18, at Estadio Alejandro Villanueva, setting up a date 10 meeting in the Torneo Clausura 2026 that carried immediate pressure for both benches. Pablo Guede named Alejandro Duarte, Luis Advíncula, Renzo Garcés, Gianfranco Chávez, Marco Huamán, Esteban Pavez, Fernando Gaibor, Jairo Vélez, Alan Cantero, Eryc Castillo and Federico Girotti in his XI.
The timing made the announcement matter. Readers were looking for Alianza Lima - ADT because the match was being played the same day, and the lineups gave the clearest sign of how each coach planned to attack a game that could shape the table’s next stretch. Víctor Rivera’s ADT responded with Carlos Solis, Jhair Soto, Joaquín Pereyra, Horacio Benincasa, Orlando Nuñez, Jeremy Canela, Luis Felipe Pérez, Elías Ramos, Joao Rojas, Juan Lucumí and Jonatan Bauman.
The names on Guede’s sheet also reflected the weight of the week before kickoff. Alianza Lima had gone three matches without a win, losing 1-0 to Deportivo Garcilaso, drawing 1-1 with Juan Pablo II in Chongoyape and falling 2-1 to Universitario de Deportes in the classic. ADT arrived with its own bruises after a 3-0 loss to FBC Melgar, a 3-1 home defeat to Sport Huancayo and a 5-1 loss away to Juan Pablo II.
That is why the confirmed lineups carried more than routine pregame value. Alianza Lima was at home, but not at ease, still away from the top places after the winless run. ADT needed points to avoid remaining in the relegation zone, and Rivera had taken over with that immediate problem in front of him. The teams were not simply filling out forms; they were showing how each intended to survive the pressure of date 10.
What comes next is the match itself, and the lineups suggest both coaches chose to confront the moment rather than wait for it. For Guede, the test was whether his selection could stop the slide. For Rivera, it was whether ADT could turn urgency into a result before the table hardened around them.
