This game was what it’s all about when it comes to watching football really. The ultimate expectation of watching a back and forth match where both clubs create enough danger to put up multiple scores on their opponent. And that’s exactly what we got last night in the Estadio Universitario with Tigres and León opening up their CONCACAF Champions League semifinals series.
The first half’s final three minutes were all it took to settle this one. Behind 0-1 after a superb Víctor Dávila strike early in the game, Tigres turned it around. First, a good cross into the box by Quiñones that found Córdova who calmly put his foot on it to one-bounce it home, followed by a huge León defensive letdown in the box off a Samir header that fell to a wide open Quiñones who put too much on it for Cota to have any chance.
