Big Game For Danubio Against Full-Strength Pincha

March 5th, 2008 | by: Juan | Comments Off

This Group 2 match will put the winner back into the race for a spot in the knockout stage. After losing in their respective group openers, both Danubio and Estudiantes did not help their causes after home draws against Deportivo Cuenca and Lanús respectively. A draw would be more beneficial to the Argentines as they have two more home games against Danubio and Cuenca, while the opposite is true for their neighbors across the River Plate.

For Danubio this is a must-win game if they want to have a shot at the knockout stage. Their performance in the group stage has left much to be desired.

Néstor Sensini’s men in the meantime are poised and well rested for this match. The former Argentine international used an alternative lineup consisting of mostly reserve players as well as second stingers this past weekend in Estudiantes’ loss to San Lorenzo this past weekend.

Danubio-
Néstor Esteban Conde,Damián Malrrechaufe,Alejandro Lembo, Sergio Rodríguez, Matías Pérez, Leonardo Abelenda, RibAír Rodríguez, Pedro Irala,Carlos María Morales, Daley Yesid Mena, Cristian Bardaro

Estudiantes-
Mariano Andújar, Marcos Angeleri, Agustín Alayes, Leandro Desábato, Iván Moreno, Rodrigo Braña, Juan Sebastán Verón, Leandro Benítez, Pablo Lugüercio, Ezquiel Maggiolo, Pablo Piatti

Venue: Estadio Centenario
