Alianza Lima welome Libertad to Estadio Alejandro Villanueva for a matchday four fixture in the Copa Libertadores on Tuesday (May 23).

The hosts are coming off a 2-1 defeat at FBC Melgar in the Peruvian league. Pablo Magnin broke the deadlock on the strok of half-time before Pablo Sabbag equalised eight minutes into the second half. Bernardo Cuesta scored a last-gasp winner in the fifth minute of injury time.

Libertad, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a narrow 1-0 home win over city rivals Olimpia in the Paraguayn league. Veteran Oscar Cardozo scored the winner from the spot in the 19th minute.

The Repollero will turn their attention back to the continent where their last game saw them fall to a 2-1 home defeat to Athletico-PR. Alianza, meanwhile, also suffered a loss to Brazilian opposition, losing 2-0 at Atletico-MG.

The defeats left the two sides in second and fourth spots respectively in Group G. Lima have four points to show for their efforts after three games, while Libertad have three points.
