There’s no arguing that Tigres’ season came to an abrupt and disappointing end on Sunday night following their 3-2 aggregate elimination vs. 4th seeded Cruz Azul. As is every season, Tuca Ferretti’s team were expected to win their 8th league title in franchise history, and nothing less than that. While many were disheartened at Tigres’ game plan during the second leg, they weren’t exempt from having opportunities to take an earlier lead.
After the first half hour of the match, Dueñas took a ball on the edge of Cruz Azul’s penalty box and fired a near perfect crossed shot that went straight to the crossbar.
