América and Rayados name staring XIs for Liga MX final first leg | OneFootball

It’s been 18 days since they played in the semi-finals, but the day has arrived: the first leg of the Liga MX final between América and Rayados.

América have made just one change from the XI that knocked off Monarcas in the semi-finals, with Jorge Sánchez coming into the side for Renato Ibarra, who is still suffering an injury to his right thigh.

Giovani dos Santos will not start but has returned fit enough to come off the bench, along with Nicolás Benedetti and Nicolás Castillo, amongst others.

Federico Viñas will start up top alongside Henry Martín in Miguel Herrera’s 4-4-2.

América XI: Guillermo Ochoa; Jorge Sánchez, Bruno Valdez, Victor Aguilera, and Paul Aguilar; Guido Rodríguez, Andrés Ibargüen, Francisco Córdova, and Richard Sánchez; Henry Martín and Federico Viñas

Rayados XI: Marcelo Barovero; César Montes, Nicolás Sánchez, Leonel Vangioni, Jesús Gallardo; John Medina, Celso Ortíz; Carlos Rodríguez, Dorlán Pabon, Rodolfo Pizarro; Rogelio Funes Mori
