Contrary to what happened in the first leg, Tigres began the duel with much more intensity and looking for the rival goal, but it was until almost the first quarter of an hour that they found the key to open the scoring.
Carioca made a good cross pass for Marcelo Flores, who appeared from the left, cut back a defender and took a right hand that did not seem to have much danger, but the goalkeeper Gallese did not attack well and saw how the ball went into the corner of his goal for the 1-0 with which the Volcano exploded.
Minutes later a controversial foul came in the area on Marcelo Flores, which referee Iván Bartón did not hesitate to blow, and then Gignac’s good definition came to make it 2-0 over Orlando City.

The game became very tense then, but with a Tigres that did not give up and maintained the intention of expanding the advantage once more in a duel in which Orlando City had already given the cats a lot of trouble.
It was not until the 68th minute that the controversial goal arrived, but also the one that practically killed the game, as Gorriarán finished in the area, Gallese managed to deflect, but the VAR decided that the ball had crossed the line for 3-1 which was later overshadowed by Carioca’s red.
That was when it seemed that Orlando would send everything to the attack, but Siboldi also moved his pieces to send Vigón and Córdova to the field and it was the latter who killed the game following seeing Gallese poorly placed and putting a shot that meant the 4 -1 momentary.
And Orlando still found itself with the discount via penalty thanks to Ojeda’s good definition, but with just a few minutes on the clock they were not given the option to fight more for the pass.
