Aquino goal earns Tigres a draw in Pachuca

Javier Aquino’s deflected goal earned Tigres a 1-1 draw at Pachuca in their 2019 Liga MX Clausura Liguilla Quarterfinals First Leg.

It had looked like it was going to be a difficult night for the Felinos after Luis “Chaka” Rodriguez scored inside his own net in the 19th minute.nBut only three minutes had to pass before Tigres equalized. Javier Aquino beat Pachuca’s goalkeeper, Alfonso Blanco, with a shot from outside the box that deflected off Erick Aguirre.

Los Tuzos were much improved after conceding and came close to retaking the lead when an Edwin Cardona free-kick forced Nahuel Guzman to a fingertip save.
