The game began with Tigres in search of the away goal that would generate peace of mind for the second leg.

And he achieved it in the 33rd minute with a great goal by Ángel Correa who took the ball out of the air with his left foot to nail it into the bottom corner of the Nashville goalkeeper’s right post.

The first half ended with the Tigers ahead on the scoreboard. For the second 45 minutes, the feline squad retreated and planted itself in defense in search of a counterattack.

Schwake, the local goalkeeper, dressed as a hero by stopping different shots on goal by Brunetta and Diego Lainez or the score would have been bigger.

The strategies within the match did not change and the referee whistled the end of the match. Tigres took the advantage in the first leg.
