Alajuelense Third football shirt 2013
Alajuelense Third football shirt 2013

2013 Alajuelense third football shirt. Third/goalkeeper shirt released for the 2013 season. It was only worn for one match on the Verano 2013 tournament (a 3-1 loss against city neighbors Carmelita from the El Carmen neighborhood on Alajuela downtown), then it was quietly shelved. It was also worn on a Invierno 2013 pre-season friendly on Mexico. Even though it was no longer worn by the first team during the year, it was used by an Alajuelense veterans' team during the 2013 Copa Ibérico pre-season match. Said team included club legends from the 1980s, 1990s and early 2000s, from the likes of José Carlos Chávez, Victor Castro, Luis Quirós, Hárold Wallace, Wilmer López, Jozef Miso and Pablo Izaguirre, among a host of others.

Most noticeably, this shirt was used by first-choice goalkeeper Patrick Pemberton on a handful of matches as an exchange shirt; one such occasion was on a memorable match when Alajuelense booted Mexican champion Club América on the mythical Estadio Azteca. It was the first time since 2001 that a Costa Rican representative managed to steal victory from the Mexican stronghold. The event was dubbed #Ligaztecazo by the Alajuelense fandom and earned Alajuelense their first qualification to the 2013-14 CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals (on the current format).

Shirt #9 was issued to Honduran striker Jerry Palacios on his first year with the club, who was on his way to become the top Honduran goalscorer who played with Alajuelense (snatching said record from his compatriot Eugenio Dolmo Flores). It was Palacios who scored the victory goal against América on the match described above.
