2019 Concacaf Champions League match recap: Tigres UANL 3, Santos Laguna 0

It was never going to be easy for Santos. Not many who come to El Volcán leave with a result they’re happy with and Los Guerreros are no exception, going down 3-0 to Tigres in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions League Semifinal.

Tigres had the better of possession early on, relying on long sweeping passes both up and down the field as well as laterally to stretch the Santos defense and create space. It would work when in the eighth minute Julián Quiñones would get played in on a long ball from the back.
