Goalkeeper: Kevin Mier – Without a doubt a great success of the board was the arrival of the Colombian, who has stood out as one of the most important elements with his solid performances that have already put him on the radar of Europe.

Defense: Carlos Salcedo – Despite having the enmity of the fans, once again El Titán was taken into account to form a line of three and due to his experience he is hardly left out of the lineup.

Defense: Gonzalo Piovi – He has become the leader of the cement defense. Until now, the Argentine has played in all the matches of the competition.

Defense: Willer Ditta – Among the rumors that put him out because he has not convinced the board, supposedly, the Colombian is also an immovable member of the defensive wall.

Pivot: Charly Rodríguez – It is possible that the Argentine coach Martin Anselmi opted to repeat the winning lineup and just as in the last match, the World Cup player would appear alone on the retaining wall, so again Erik Lira I would start on the bench.

Midfielder: Lorenzo Faravelli – Another one who has earned the applause of the fans. The Argentine is the orchestrator of the team and although some claim that he disappears from time to time, he remains a key man for the helmsman.

Midfielder: Alexis Gutiérrez – The youth squad would appear next to Lolo. If something has stood out in the Argentine strategist's era, it is the trust in some of the most promising youth players, among them, Alexis.

Far right: Ignacio Rivero – In several of the coach's approaches, the Uruguayan captain was left out despite being able to play in a large number of positions. This time he was enabled in the atta
ck, assisted on the first goal and possibly they would continue that role.

Left winger: Camilo Cándido – It is one of the strange cases. Despite arriving with a great lineup for this semester, the Paraguayan has had very few opportunities to appear as a starter, but he was finally able to start. Maybe Anselmi is thinking about giving him more minutes.

Forward: Uriel Antuna – Day after day, El Brujo continues to be the most decisive in the celestial attack. The national team has just achieved a double by playing as a false '9'.

Forward: Carlos Rotondi – Thanks to the scoring drought of Angel Sepúlveda, Anselmi chose to play with two false '9's. In the end, the Argentine knows that they should not trust each other and he will seek to be a factor in defeating La Franja.

This is what Cruz Azul's possible lineup would look like (3-1-4-2):

Goalie: Kevin Mier
Defenses: Carlos Salcedo, Gonzalo Piovi, Willer Ditta
Midfielders: Charly Rodríguez, Nacho Rivero, Camilo Cándido, Alexis Gutiérrez, Lolo Faravelli
