COPA LIBERTADORES, MATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT


Cruzeiro can put Gremio away tonight with a win, tie or looses by one goal margin and advanced to Copa Libertadores finals. As if wasn't tough for Gremio, now Cruzeiro gets Ramires back after a sting with the Brazil national team in South Africa, so we can safely say that Gremio will have to play the match of their life time if they want to continue in Copa Libertadores tournament......

Cruzeiro won the first semifinal encounter with Gremio 3-1. Tonight's match will be at Olimpico stadium and it's schedule to start at 9:50 pm local time.

Ramires missed the match in Belo Horizonte because he was at the Confederation Cup, helping Brazil beat the United States 3-2 in Sunday's final to win its third title.

After starting in four of the five matches the team played in South Africa, Ramires arrived in Brazil on Monday and traveled with Cruzeiro for the decisive Copa Libertadores match against Gremio in Porto Alegre.

The only disadvantage for Cruzeiro will have is playing in Gremio's backyard and in front of 45.000 spectators, that by the way they are Gremio fans, and will be riled up after last week's incident, after winger Elicarlos of Cruzeiro accused forward Maxi Lopez of racism, a Gremio idol.

So let's hold on to our hats, because tonight's match, not only will it bring the other finalist to the Copa, but also the rivalry has been taken to another level and both clubs will be up for this game, as excitement has just build up even more.

Hopefully security will be on their toes and we will have a exciting well played match, so tune in for this one, it will be a dandy and memorable game to watch.
