All square in 2016-17 CONCACAF Champions League final: Tigres UANL and Pachuca tie first leg, 1-1

This year's CONCACAF Champions League final looked a lot like a coronation for Tigres UANL. Historically a team of modest achievements, UANL has turned itself into a Liga MX heavyweight in recent years, winning two of the last three top-flight titles in Mexico, and making the finals of the 2015 Copa Libertadores and 2015-16 CONCACAF Champions League. And it landed in its second consecutive CCL final having just completed pair of thumping home wins in Liga MX: surely, this would be Tigres' moment to claim an international title at the third attempt, furthering the claim that the team is the best in Mexico and CONCACAF.
