A goal by Sebastián Córdova in the final stretch of the match against Juárez saved a double matchday that looked bleak for Tigres, who are used to being at the top of Liga MX.
For the felines, what looked like a week with nine points after beating San Luis at the start of the double date, became complicated when they fell in Querétaro and even more so when it seemed that Bravos, at home, would get a valuable draw from them.
The felines’ dominance was not very fruitful for almost the entire 90 minutes, a tight local defense seemed to lead the Nuevo Leon team to a new loss of points, but again, with the help of Gignac and the timely intervention of Córdova, both players who came on as substitutes in the second half, they changed the destiny of this double day.
It was not until the 85th minute, when a cross in the area that seemed to pose little danger from Gignac, that the ball reached the feet of Sebastián Córdova, who did not forgive and put the final 1-0 on the scoreboard.
A victory that meant seven points in one week for Tigres, which helped them to take second place in the competition, just two points behind Cruz Azul; while Juárez remains at the bottom of the table with four points.
