The Cruzeiro starting XI was (educatively) guessed at last night, but with the first leg of the final of the 2009 Copa Libertadores de América now just twenty minutes away (theoretically), both sides’ teams are known. If you’re not able to watch the match yourself, you’ll be able to follow almost-live text updates here on HEGS, but for now the big news is that Estudiantes’ number 11 – some chap called Juan Sebastián Verón – will play. Both teams’ lineups, right here.
