It was in the Clausura 2017 the last time that the rojiblancos lifted the Liga MX cup, precisely against those of the U of Nuevo León that the Chivas de Guadalajara were crowned. This result gives Tigres the eighth star in Liga MX.
The fans of the herd were inflamed with an early goal at minute 10 by Roberto “Piojo” Alvarado, putting the Guadalajara team ahead with a shot from the edge of the Tigres area. Akron was entering a moment of passion for its goats, but it did not stop there.
Victor “Pocho” Guzmán increased the advantage with the second goal after arriving by surprise in the center of the area and attacking Nahuel Guzmán’s cabin, the Argentine goalkeeper was left empty-handed and the rojiblancos celebrated an advantage that would not be shortened, until minute 61 that a penalty was scored in favor of the northerners, due to a handball in the area by Antonio Briseño.
The mark from 11 steps was collected by André-Pierre Gignac, the Frenchman scoring in favor of those from San Nicolás de los Garza. The spirits of Tigres regained strength to achieve the tie, which lasted until minute 71 with a local goal shot by Córdova equalizing things 2-2.
Things got complicated for the locals taking the game to overtime in which the cats got the result with the clock marking 110. A corner kick that was risky for those from Guadalajara with a shot to the center, were three touches against the goal chiva and it was with a header from Guido Pizarro that the feline triumph in Jalisco was sealed.
