Battle of the “felinos”
The final game of the jornada number 5 pitted defending champions Tigres against current leaders Pumas UNAM. The game was supposed to be much more competitive than in the past few seasons. Pumas also had a bit more pressure on them than the last few times these two teams had played because they are sitting at the top of the table and were the home team. This game is always special for Ricardo “Tuca” Ferreti because of his history with Pumas both as a player and a championship winning coach. Pumas lined up in their now familiar 4-2-3-1 and Tigres kept it simple and compact like usual in their 4-4-2 formation.
