Tigres UANL overcame León to take the upper hand in the 2019 Liga MX Clausura Final after Andre-Pierre Gignac’s goal gave them a 1-0 first-leg victory at the Estadio Universitario.
The game enjoyed a relatively lively start, and it was the visitors who had the first real chance of the game when Vinicio Angulo nearly connected from an Angel Mena cross.
But Tigres’s breakthrough was well worked, and it arrived midway through the first half when a Luis Quiñones shot was saved. The rebound fell to none other than Andre-Pierre Gignac, who fired into an empty net to give the hosts the lead.
