Alianza Lima clinched the Torneo Apertura 2026 title of Peru's Liga 1 after a 3‑0 win over Los Chankas at Matute, reaching 39 points and leaving opponents with no chance to overtake them. The victory, highlighted by goals from Jairo Vélez, Eryc Castillo and Renzo García, secured the championship with one match still to play.
