A duel that seemed more equal, but a eviction ended up being its undoing. Pumas and Tigres impressed in the first leg of their La Liga semi-final with a fairly even first half, but with a less surprising second half, the visit was decided by a long-range goal from Jesús Angulo.

In the university city, Opportunities came in both areas. First UANL through Nicholas Ibanez, Who was the most active in the attack, replacing Andre-Pierre Gignac. The naturalized Mexican Argentine even shot a ball that hit the left post Julio GonzalezWho scored several goals, but in goal he left a lot to be desired.

In the second half, the match witnessed a deciding point, with Santiago Trigos expelled In a powerful tackle that left UNAM with 10. From there, the visitors’ dominance was even greater on a corner kick, the ball was left to Angulo who caught it with his left leg and beat Gonzalez, the only celebration of the night. And the cats feature to come back in volcano.

The meeting ends and we return with an advantage to the volcano!
