In a club World Cup full of Latin bombings, River Plate and Monterrey will be the first teams in the region to measure forces on Saturday for a triumph that can be worth the pass to the round of 16.

The meeting between Sergio Ramos and Franco Mastantuono, past and future of Real Madrid, will be another of the great clash in the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena (east of Los Angeles).

River and Monterrey face the second date of group E optimism after their positive premieres. With more trade than brilliance, the Argentine squad beat Urawa Red Diamonds Japanese and settled in the solo lead of the key.

The Mexicans took more headlines with their sweet 1-1 draw against Inter Milan, a recent finalist of the European Champions League and alleged favorite to dominate the group.

River, a triumph on Saturday guarantees you to seal the ticket to the World Cup. The first place of the group would have to be won predictably on the last day against Inter, provided that the Italian squad defeats Urawa Red Diamonds in Seattle on Saturday.

For Monterrey, the three points would mean to track the classification but it would still have to certify it at the closure against the Japanese rival.

Ramos and Mastantuono, white connection

On its board, Argentine Marcelo Gallardo faces an important setback in the offensive line. Sebastián Driussi, titular striker, suffered a sprain in the ankle in the debut and the rest of the tournament will be lost.

The Colombian Miguel Borja is emerging to assume that role in front of the populated Mexican defense directed by the rejuvenated Sergio Ramos.

At 39, the Spanish world champion enjoys what can be his last presence in a great international scenario and already marked differences in the debut with one of his classic head goals.

The defense was asked this week to review the actuality of Real Madrid, his house for 16 seasons, and granted praise to the young Mastantuono, lent to jump to the merengue team after the World Cup.

For Ramos, the 17 -year -old River pearl has a “undoubted” talent and Real Madrid will be “the best place to see if crack is made.”

Beyond the interest of this generational duel, the Spanish provides for an “intense” duel and “very high demand” before the pupils of the 'doll' Gallardo.

Colombian duel

The confrontation between Monterrey and River Plate will have an outstanding presence of Colombian players. On the Mexican team side, Stefan Medina will be, who started and played the 90 minutes in the previous match against Inter Milan. The participation of Nelson Deossa is also expected, who entered the second half of that meeting and left good feelings, in addition to former Equity Johan Rojas.

In the Argentine team, Kevin Castaño has established itself as a key piece in the midfield under the direction of Marcelo Gallardo, being undisputed holder. In the last game against the Asian team, he played 90 minutes. For his part, Miguel Ángel Borja entered the second half of the first commitment after Sebastián Driussi's injury. For this new duel, it could have more prominence in the absence of the Argentine striker.
