In the 19th round of the tournament, forward Carlos Lucumí stood out by netting two goals, propelling Alianza FC to a solid 2-0 win against Boyacá Chicó. Lucumí showcased his scoring prowess by converting a penalty kick at the 76th minute, and later secured the victory with another goal just six minutes later.

Moreover, Wiston Fernández was also instrumental in Alianza FC’s success, contributing significantly with five shots directed towards the opposition’s goal.
Alianza’s coach, Hubert Bodhert, opted for a 4-5-1 formation, featuring Johan Wallens in goal; a defensive line of Yilson Rosales, Kevin Moreno, John García, and Kalazán Suárez; a midfield comprising Rubén Manjarrés, Jair Castillo, Mayer Gil, Wiston Fernández, and Jesús Muñoz; and Carlos Lucumí leading the attack.
