Just over 3 weeks ago, Tigres were left watching América claim the Apertura 2023 title after blowing them away 3-0 in extra time in the Estadio Azteca with a 2-man advantage. Today, they’re just 8 days away from kicking off their Clausura 2024 in León when they visit the Nou Camp for a tough season opener.
But they’ll have to do so without their superstar keeper Nahuel Guzmán who was shown two yellow cards in said extra time in a span of just 3 minutes; the first from excessive arguing with the ref following Quiñones’s goal that put América in front, and the second when he tackled Quiñones himself on a 1-on-1 opportunity with the ball far from goal, which is why he wasn’t given a direct red.
