A fight that looked like more, but a takedown ended up breaking it up. Pumas and Tigres played a very even first half in the first leg of the Liguilla semi-final, but with a less mesmerizing second half, Jesus Angulo’s long-range goal settled the visit.
In University City, Opportunities came in both areas. First by UANL Nicholas Ibanez, He replaced Andre-Pierre Gugnac and was more active up front. Natural Mexico even had a volley that hit Argentina’s left post Julio GonzalezA scorer of many goals, but in opposition, he left a lot to be desired.
In the second half, the match was a breaking point, with Expulsion of Santiago Trigos UNAM came away with 10 on a tough tackle. From there, the visitors dominated, and on a corner kick, the ball was released to Angulo, who caught it with his left foot and beat Gonzalez, the only celebration of the night. And a cat benefit to return Volcano.
The meeting ends and we return to the volcano with an advantage!
