Tigres UANL opened up the 2018 Apertura season in style as they thrashed Santos Laguna in the Campeón de Campeones by a score of 4-0 behind goals from four different players, including Andre-Pierre Gignac and the newly returned Guido Pizarro. Los Felinos followed up their big trophy winning victory with a fairly straightforward 2-0 victory over León. Both matches showed the manner in which the star-studded Tigres squad is capable of playing. In these first two matches, Ricardo “Tuca” Ferretti’s squad had over 60% of the possession, attacked directly, and dominated the rest of the match statistics. Since getting off to a hot start in their first matches of the 2018 Apertura season, however, Tigres have been struggling mightily against largely inferior opposition.
