Outstanding performance
Tigres UANL•AttackerTigres UANL dominated the underlying numbers, controlling 57% of possession and racking up 72 dangerous attacks to Necaxa's 31, but it was Owen González who broke the deadlock in the 12th minute after sustained pressure from a corner. Necaxa should have been further punished when Nahuel Guzmán saved Julián Carranza's penalty in the 24th minute, a moment that kept the door open for the visitors to fight back. Rodrigo Aguirre did just that in the 40th minute, finishing off a Juan Brunetta assist to level things at 1-1 right before the break. Despite Tigres creating more chances overall, Necaxa were the more clinical side in the final third with 5 big chances created compared to Tigres' 1, and the result leaves both sides mid-table with plenty to ponder ahead of their next fixtures.
