Club Tijuana looking for another historic step in the club history with a qualification to the semifinals of the Copa Libertadores. Antonio "El Turco" Mohamed wills want to leave this last historic piece in what will be his last game as the Xoloitzcuitles manager.
The match is scheduled for Thursday May 30 at 10:00PM local time (6:00PM pacific) at the Independencia Stadium in Belo Horizonte.
Due to the fact that Copa Libertadores will stall due to the FIFA Confederations Cupmin Brazil and not resume until July Mohamed will have to step away from the Xolos after this match because his contract is up in June.
The Xoloitzcuitles are up against the tournament favorites Atletico Mineiro but know they are capable of producing the upset. The Xolos worked their way to a two goal lead in the first leg at the Estadio Caliente in Tijuana last Thursday night, but defensive errors late in the game caused the Xolos to lose their lead and end the game in a 2-2 draw.,
With the Brazilians scoring two away goals, Xolos are now forced to go out and look for the win in Brazil.
The expected starting eleven for Xolos on Thursday night will be: Cirilo Saucedo, Juan Carlos Nuñez, Javier Gandolfi, Pablo Aguilar, Edgar Castillo, Cristian Pellerano, Fernando Arce, Joe Corona, Fidel Martinez, Duvier Riascos, Alfredo Moreno.
