Tigres UANL
Seattle Sounders
Tigres UANL took a commanding first-leg advantage in this CONCACAF Champions Cup tie with a dominant 2-0 victory over Seattle Sounders at home. The Mexican side controlled proceedings from start to finish, registering 57% possession and outshooting the visitors 22-4, with Ozziel Herrera breaking the deadlock early in the second half before Jackson Ragen's unfortunate own goal sealed the result. Despite missing a penalty through Ángel Correa just before halftime, Tigres created 69 dangerous attacks to Seattle's 27 and will travel to the second leg with a significant advantage, though the Sounders' two away goals conceded mean they'll need to be aggressive in the return fixture.
