Enner Valencia, Tigres UANL Advances to Liga MX Final over Club America

Tigres UANL is headed to the Liga MX Apertura final after Saturday's 3-0 win over Club America in the second leg of their semifinal showdown.

Tigres came into this matchup only needing a draw to advance after their 1-0 win in the first leg on Wednesday. They were able to hold serve on their home field at Estadio Universitario, where they haven't lost this season.

After a scoreless first half, Tigres unloaded with three goals to put America away. Enner Valencia put Tigres on top with a goal in the 56th minute and added a second in the 72nd minute for his team-leading 11th score this season.
