Mexico’s Tigres UANL shut out Real Salt Lake 1-0 in Leagues Cup match

Sandy • Around Rio Tinto Stadium a couple of hours before kickoff, the atmosphere did not feel like a regular Real Salt Lake game.

In the gravel parking lot near the stadium, a Spanish-language band played. Inside the stadium, one man made his way to his seats while holding two cups of horchata, a milky drink popular in Spanish and Latin American communities. Fans trickled in donned in yellow jerseys that read “Tigres.”

But in some aspects, it felt very much like a regular RSL game. The team had plenty of chances to score and played a solid game at home on both sides of the ball.
