Outstanding performance
Tigres UANL•DefenderTigres UANL secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Monterrey in a tightly contested Liga MX encounter that remained goalless until the dying moments. The match was a cagey affair with both teams struggling to create clear-cut chances throughout the opening 70 minutes, before the game opened up following a series of tactical substitutions. André-Pierre Gignac proved to be the match-winner, coming off the bench in the 80th minute and finding the net with virtually the last kick of the game to break the deadlock. The veteran French striker's late intervention highlights his continued importance to Tigres despite being used as an impact substitute, while Monterrey will rue their inability to capitalize on a solid defensive performance that deserved at least a point.
