What They're Saying
Veracruz manager Carlos Reinoso (via Imagen del Golfo): "We definitely have a good taste in our mouth. We responded to our fans. I'm calm because we wanted to give the fans joy."
Cruz Azul manager Luis Fernando Tena (via ESPN Deportes): "We are going to see what the exams reveal. We expect that they reveal that he [Roque Santa Cruz] did not suffer a serious injury, but that doesn't mean he'll have enough time to recover for Friday."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: With Santa Cruz succumbing to injury, Cruz Azul turn to Alemao atop the formation. The 25-year-old joined from Portuguesa and has one goal in 67 minutes of action.
Veracruz's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hernandez; Romero, Vaca, Lopez, Paganoni; Martinez, Penalba, Andrade, Meneses; Villalva, Furch
