Big night in Porto Alegre. For the first time as a professional player, Alexandre Pato will wear his number 11 jersey home. Internacional plays its second game at the Beira-Rio Stadium, in Porto Alegre. 2006 Copa Libertadores Champions try to get first 3 points after a come from behind lost against Nacional, at Uruguay, last week.
Alexandre Pato, the new Brazilian sensation, played only four professional games until tonight. The first one was at Sao Paulo, against Palmeiras. The next two games were in Japan, playing for the Fifa Club WC and last weekend he played for the State Championship another game on the road. He scored 3 times in these 4 games. I will be the first time ever that the Colorado Fans will have the opportunity to see the boy playing home.
1100 kilometers from there, Sao Paulo will play against Alianza Lima from Peru at Morumbi Stadium. Coach Muricy Ramalho will start Tricolor’s second game at the competition (the first one was a draw away) still without Jorge Wagner, former Internacional and Real Betis player, the most important transfer made by the club for the season.
