River Plate vs. Sporting Cristal: confirmed line-ups
River Plate vs. Sporting Cristal are minutes away from facing each other for Matchday 2 of the Copa Libertadores. This match, which will take place at the Más Monumental stadium, promises emotions from start to finish, considering that both teams come from losing in the first match of the tournament.
Tiago Nunes and the players from Sporting Cristal are aware that they did not have a good start, despite their efforts, so they hope to make an impact in Argentina and bring immense joy to their fans who traveled to show their support. In that sense, the Brazilian coach will deploy a five-man defense line and Jesús Pretell will replace Yoshimar Yotún, who was sent off.
On the other hand, Martín Demichelis wants to take revenge after starting the continental tournament on the wrong foot, as they were defeated by The Strongest in Bolivia. In that sense, he will field his best eleven, with the presence of Lucas Beltrán and Salomón Rondón, two scoring options who hope to celebrate tonight.
