the first time was even
The Tigers came out cautiously waiting a bit for the momentum of the Pumas to beat them and advance lines; however, the locals put up with it and maintained a defensive stop, with a line of five at the bottom and waiting for the attacks of the team led by Miguel Herrera.
Little by little, the university students from Mexico City became better accommodated on the field and managed to generate two dangerous arrivals on Nahuel Guzmán’s frame, although it was the visitors who had the best opportunities in the first 45 minutes. The clearest was a shot by Luis Quiñones inside the area that went into the hands of Gil Alcalá.
The locals’ midfield were better coordinated in the final stretch of the first half and ended up playing on the pitch of the northerners, who might not or did not know how to exploit their attacking qualities.
The goals came to CU
The first two minutes of the complementary part had not been completed, when the auriazules took the lead with a goal from John Ignatius Dinenno. The Argentine took a ball inside the area, settled it and took a shot at the far post to beat Guzmán and make it 1-0 on the scoreboard at the Olympic Stadium.
Five minutes later, Dinenno himself had a clearer one to make the second the CU, but incredibly he failed only in front of Nahuel’s frame, which was already dedicated waiting for his compatriot’s shot. The shot came out loose and on one side of the Nuevo León team’s goal.
Tigre pressed following the goal and even more when the Pumas had to make changes due to injuries. Andres Lillini he sent two defensive changes to try to endure the last 20 minutes of the match. Those from Pedregal dedicated themselves to defending their short lead, seeking to do damage via counterattack.
