Goalkeeper: Kevin Mier – Against León it was mentioned that he would have a rest because he had just been called up by Colombia, but after that rest, the goalkeeper is ready to defend the goal.

Defense: Gonzalo Piovi – The sky-blue defense is already well established and it seems that only injuries or a suspension can take out the three men that make it up.

Defense: Willer Ditta – The Colombian and the Argentine were in charge of being the central duo since last tournament, sometimes complemented by the currently absent Carlos Salcedo.

Defense: Erik Lira – From being a holding midfielder, he was now available as the third centre-back, performing so well that he returned to the national team.

Left inside: Carlos Rotondi – The Argentine continues to be an important piece in the Argentine coach’s scheme Martin AnselmiWhatever task is asked of him, he does it.
