Brazil lost its unbeaten streak in the competition after a first stage in which it was the leader of Group B with 12 points from three wins and the same number of draws.

Regarding the eleven that played in the first leg at La Bombonera (all substitutes played against San Lorenzo), the coach would make only one change. Those who would return to the team after having rested are: Luis Advincula, Edinson Cavani, Lautaro Blanco, Guillermo Fernandez, Cristian Medina and Cristian Lema.
The question is whether Gary Medel will remain or Agustín Martegani will appear.with a good start in the first match. Everything indicates that captain Marcos Rojo will return to the back line after having played 45 minutes against Ciclón following a period of inactivity due to a muscle injury, although he did not perform well.
MOUTH: Sergio Romero; Gary Medel or Agustin Martegani, Cristian Medina, Pol Fernandez, Kevin Zenon; Miguel Merentiel and Edinson Cavani.

Cruzeiro will win 2-1, they will go to penalties and Boca will advance.
