Have Cruz Azul sentenced their QF series with Tigres?

After having suffered an unfortunate 3-1 blow at home last night in their QF first leg vs. Cruz Azul, Tigres are now forced to head to Mexico City and defeat La Máquina by a 3-goal difference if they wish to move on to the Semi-Finals, a feat nobody would argue is very improbable at this point. The strange part is, with the flow of last night’s game, in no way was Cruz Azul deserving of such a result. Tigres dominated the action and ball possession, generating many more opportunities throughout the match and simply being unable to capitalize. And that is, of course, the main point in football; it’s not who deserves it most, it’s who scores the most goals.
