Tigres Beats Sounders 2-0 to Control First Leg in CONCACAF Champions Cup

The clean sheet puts Seattle under pressure to produce a multi-goal home win next week.

Overview

  • Tigres, which won 2-0 on Thursday at Estadio Universitario in Monterrey, carries a two-goal edge into the quarterfinal return leg.
  • A first-half penalty awarded by VAR offered Tigres an early breakthrough, but Ángel Correa sent the attempt over the bar.
  • Ozziel Herrera opened the scoring in the 51st minute with a calm finish after Tigres had controlled much of the play.
  • The second goal in the 76th minute is recorded differently by outlets, with some calling it a Jackson Ragen own goal and others crediting a Joaquim header.
  • Seattle hosts the second leg on Wednesday, April 15, in a tie that will be decided in one of North America’s top club tournaments between MLS and Liga MX teams.
