Our squad features a mix of the first 11 eleven and my backups. Alex Silva is replacing Marcos Rocha due to injury and Leonardo Silva will replace Jemerson after he was suspended with 3 yellows. We will have to focus on Adrian Ramos as he has a scoring record against us. Dede will be leading their defensive core and we need to pressure him to make a mistake. Long time Cruzeiro Keeper Fabio will on his toes today.
As the officials go to the middle, they signal both goalies to see if they are ready. Cruzeiro will start the game.
