Por que apostar no Tigres?

It was a great week for Tigres. First, they defeated Querétaro 1-0 in the Liga MX and taking advantage of León’s loss, closed the gap at the top. They are now in third place with 22 points, just four behind the leaders, after seven wins, one draw, and three losses.

Then, this Tuesday, they secured a 3-1 victory over FC Cincinnati, advancing to the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals with a 4-1 aggregate score. They now await the winner between Los Angeles Galaxy and Herediano.

Returning to domestic competition, Tigres has now won two consecutive matches, both by the narrowest margin. Nicolás Ibáñez scored just four minutes into the game, finally netting his first goal of the league season. He has now scored in three straight matches, having also found the back of the net in both games against Cincinnati.

Despite the win versus the ‘Gallos Blancos,’ there are still areas to improve, as the team dominated possession but struggled to translate it into clear offensive opportunities.

At home, they have five wins and only one loss, which came against Juárez on February 25.

Undoubtedly, the biggest surprise of the weekend was Santos’ victory. The Torreón-based team was at the bottom of the standings but managed to end León’s unbeaten streak with a 2-1 win, thanks to a stoppage-time goal by Anderson Santamaría.

It was an impressive performance by the ‘Laguneros,’ who fell behind early but turned the game around with a stunning strike from Ramiro Sordo, finishing with a precise shot into the top corner and a powerful header from Santamaría off a corner kick.

They are now second-to-last with seven points, tied with Tijuana, but hold a slightly better goal difference (-9 vs. -10). They know this isn’t enough, but defeating the league leaders and previously unbeaten team gives them a crucial morale boost for the challenges ahead. Additionally, they have only two wins this season, but both have come in their last three matches.

Their away form, however, has been poor, with five losses and just one draw, a 1-1 result against Mazatlán.
