Sporting Cristal will visit this Wednesday in order to bounce back from the 0-1 defeat suffered last week in Lima against Emelec, who would have entered the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana even with a draw.

The beer team, as they call Cristal, will have to come back from a two-goal deficit to win the play-off stage, where they were eliminated in third place in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.

When will the reinforcements in Emelec be announced? José Pileggi, the blue president, answers

Rimac’s last two notable away games were in the group stage of the Libertadores when they beat The Strongest 2-1 in Bolivia and in a 1-1 draw against Fluminense in Brazil.

Emelec, the runner-up in Group E of the Sudamericana, will try to start the second half of the year by advancing to the round of 16, after an irregular campaign, both at the Sudamericana and at the domestic tournament, where they concluded participation among the last in the first phase.

Hernán Torres, the coach of Emelec, wants the Colombian midfielder, but his club will only let him go for the final sale, who is he?

El Bombillo or Cuadro Eléctrico, as Emelec is also called because it was initially created by the workers of the local electricity company, has shown signs of improvement in recent games, since being led by Colombian coach Hernán Torres.

So Torres would use the same players that faced and defeated Cristal: Pedro Ortiz; Romario Caicedo, Aníbal Leguizamón, Luis Fernando León, Bryan Carabalí; Carlos Villalba, Cristian Valencia, José Francisco Cevallos, Diego García; Miller Bolanos and Alejandro Cabeza.

For their part, the beer team will miss midfielder Jesús Castillo, as he has just joined the Portuguese club Gil Vicente, but they will have a dangerous player for the opposing zone in the form of Nilson Loyola from their defense.

The team led by Brazilian Thiago Nunes will also rely on the experience of Yoshimar Yotun, generosity for the efforts of young Aldair Vásquez, hope that Alejandro Hobberg will have a better performance accompanied by striker Joao Grimaldo and Brazilian Brenner Marlos.
