Xolos, now in South America after long travel

The team will play against San Jose in Bolivia

SAN DIEGO, CA.- Following the 1-0 loss on Saturday night to Toluca, Club Tijuana Xoloitzcuitles are now on South American soil with their sights set on San Jose. The Xolos can seal their ticket into the knock-out stage of the Copa Libertadores with a win on Wednesday night against the Bolivian side.

It was a busy Easter Sunday for the Xoloitzcuitles filled with training and travels. The Xolos had to endure a total of two long bus rides and two different flights

Antonio 'Turco' Mohamed held a practice session on Sunday morning in the state of Mexico where they played against Toluca. Center striker Alfredo Moreno is still in doubt for Wednesday's match following an injury that saw him subbed out on Saturday against Toluca.

Following the practice the team took a bus ride to Mexico City. Once in the capital they took a flight to Panama. From Panama the Xolos jumped on another flight that took them to La Paz, Bolivia. And finally from La Paz they travel three hours by bus to Oruro.

The match is scheduled for Wednesday at 3:30 PM (PST) in the fifth match day of the Copa Libertadores. Xolos are currently in first place of group five with nine points after four games. A win in Bolivia guarantees their participation in the knock-out stage.
