They will play against Pumas UNAM today

TIJUANA, BC. – After a two consecutive victories at the beginning of this Clausura 2013 season in the Liga MX, Club Tijuana must now continue on a good path which today they will be playing against Pumas UNAM.

On the Xolos side everything seems to be running smoothly, although a few players from the team today will not be playing, and has forced head coach Antonio Mohamed to modify the lineup.

The Brazilian midfielder, now naturalized Mexican player, Leandro Augusto, will not be playing in today's game due to a red card suspension he obtain during last week's game on a foul against Rafael Marquez from Leon.

Joining Augusto are also Joe Corona and Duvier Riascos, both whom are not playing due to an injury.

The lineup will most likely be headed by Cirilo Saucedo as goal keeper, Edgar Castillo, Javier Gandolfi, Pablo Cesar Aguilar and Juan Carlos Nuñez on defense.

Playing in the midfield will be Cristian Pellerano, Fernando Arce and possibly Noe Maya who will be replacing Joe Corona.

The forwards will be Fidel Martinez, Alfredo "Chango" Moreno and Richard Ruiz.
