Monarcas Morelia Vs. Pumas UNAM, 2011 Liguilla Final: Lineups
For Morelia to get the result they want at home, they will need a sterling performance from Elias Hernandez. He has the ability to make incredible and almost unbelievable plays and with Pumas strong at the back, Morelia might need a few plays like that. Pumas will depend on Francisco Palencia, the midfielder who refuses to age and amazingly can still dictate tempo in the midfield as if it were 1999.
Monarcas Morelia lineup (4-4-2): Vilar; Aldrete, Huiqui, Arias, Perez; Rojas, Ramirez, Gastelum, Hernandez; Perez, Marquez
Pumas UNAM lineup (3-4-1-2): A. Palacios; Fuentes, M. Palacios, Veron; Velarde, Cabrera, Castro, Cortes; Palencia; Bravo, Lopez
