After three days of work, coach Meza does not want to give advantages to the team from the Ciclón del Norte, and will rely on his best eleven, where goalkeeper Penny, defenders Loyola and Santamaría; midfielders Arias and Leudo; as well as Fernández in the front line, stand out.

It should be mentioned that the red and blacks will not be able to count on “Cachete” Zúñiga, due to expulsion, and will be replaced by Yahya Boumediene; nor Víctor Cedrón, due to a contractual agreement.

The mission of the domino team is victory, as a draw or defeat would leave them out of the title race, an option they do not rule out.
