Tigres 2-1 Leon; that’s how the game was
The controversy began at minute 8, when Nahuel Guzmán left the area to cut a play from the emeralds and ended up taking down Ángel Mena in what appeared to be expulsion, but was reviewed by the WHERE and they determined that first there was a misplaced Ecuadorian.
The first option that the locals had to score was at minute 19, when André-Pierre Gignac took a shot from outside the area, but Rodolfo Cota launched himself in a great way to send the ball into a corner kick.
The bear of the evening was by Nicolás López, who failed in an incredible way at 32 ‘when Juan Pablo Vigón stole a ball in the half moon of León and everything was in order for him Tooth within area, but instead of hitting him from the right, he did it left-handed and sent it to the side before a misplaced Cota.
When the first lapse was gone, Ángel Mena burst the stick from the frame of Nahuel, with a snort of relief throughout the stands, which ten minutes after the complement would be a consummate regret because Jean Meneses fired at the first post, Nahuel did not cover the angle thinking that a center would come and so La Fiera went 0-1 at 56 ‘.
The Louse he risked again as before Santos, knowing that he could not go to the Nou Camp at a disadvantage, that’s why got Florian Thauvin and Carlos González by Juan Purata and Juan Pablo Vigón, who would be the master moves of the auriazul coach.
With the desperation of seeing the clock evaporate and after suffering another shot at the visitor’s post, the Volcano exploded with joy at the minute 90 when Florian Thauvin threw a scissors in the area to beat a Cota that was impassable, in what was the Frenchman’s second goal in Liga MX.
Turned into a gale in the aggregate, the Tigers made the somersault with Charlie González at 95 ‘, who topped off a head comeback by André-Pierre Gignac to top off a unforgettable Liguilla night.
