In what appeared to be yet another “in the bag” game for Tigres, having had multiple opportunities in both halves, and with the lead in the dying minutes of the match, they instead extended their long history of heartbreaks to the hands of Pachuca, dating back to the beginning of the century. Having taken the lead in the 53rd minute on a strike by Dueñas which was helped in thanks to a minimal deflection by Erick Sánchez was not enough for the 2⁄3 ball possession dominators, despite having as clear opportunities to put the game away as they come.
