Two clubs chasing the Apertura Liga MX title will do battle today in a league match between Queretaro and Monarcas Morelia. The first-division clash scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET will be held at the Estadio La Corregidora in Queretaro and can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on ESPN Deportes.
What They're Saying
Queretaro manager Ignacio Ambriz (via Azteca Deportes): "We were looking to meet with the president of officiating and we were left hanging. I didn't appreciate that. It's not fair. The referees showed us and this institution disrespect. There's only one person responsible for this, and he didn't show his face."
"I don't know if the officials are facing a crisis," he added. "But they have been all wrong."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Morelia's Duvier Riascos has seen improvement in his hold-up play for the club atop the formation, but the 28-year-old still lacks the necessary scoring form. In 11 appearances, Riascos has just one goal and five chances created. He'll look to influence the attack on Friday.
Queretaro's Projected Lineup (4-4-2): Hernandez; Corra, Martinez, Corona, Escalante; Osuna, Jimenez, Danilinho, William; Ronaldinho, Sanvezzo
Morelia's Projected Lineup (3-5-2): Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Guzman, Huiqui, Pereira, Zarate, Ruiz, Zamorano, Morales, Aguirre, Riascos
