Tigres became the first Liga MX and Concacaf team to make the final of the FIFA Club World Cup when they defeated Copa Libertadores Champions Palmeiras in the semifinal. Tigres was the better team overall and got the deserved victory in only the third time that a Concacaf team matched up against a CONMEBOL team in the semifinal. It was always a tough game for Tigres, but with a good plan by Coach Ricardo Ferretti Tigres was able to get the upper hand, defending well once they took the lead to book their ticket to the final.
