Ferretti: Tigres not scared of River trip

Tigres will not be scared to visit River Plate for the second leg of the Copa Libertadores final, says coach Ricardo Ferretti.

Coach Ricardo Ferretti said that while Tigres were unable to capitalize on their home advantage in the Copa Libertadores final first leg, he will back his side in Buenos Aires.

River Plate earned a 0-0 draw in Mexico on Wednesday, meaning Ferretti's men will have to score at El Monumental if they are to avoid extra time and penalties.

Ferretti did not fault the efforts of his charges in the first leg.

"The team looked everywhere and tried, but the goal did not fall," the 61-year-old said.
