The MLS Homegrowns drew 1-1 against the Tigres UANL U20 team in a match that gave everyone a chance to play and ended up turning on a fateful VAR call. Overall, it was a solid showing from the Homegrown team as some future potential senior MLS All-Stars got some experience against one of the best academy sides in Mexico.
Each team traded chances in the first half with the goalkeepers having the best highlights of the opening minutes. The MLS side should have had a goal when Tigres keeper Marcos Barbosa came out of his goal to chase down Colombian striker Jesus Ferreira.
