Liga MX Clausura Quarterfinals: Tigres and Chivas triumph in Liguilla Clasicos

Here your five conclusions from the Quarterfinals of the 2017 Liga MX Clausura.

Tigres earn crushing victory over rivals Monterrey

If you thought Tigres weren’t at their best to start this Liguilla, they are now. This ranked among one of the best two-legged series in Tigres history, as they crushed rivals Monterrey 6-1 on aggregate.

Tigres have lost just once in their last eight league games, and as ever, Andre-Pierre Gignac was the decisive figure in these quarterfinals, scoring four of Tiges’ six goals. It was a crucial contribution from the frenchman, who had struggled with Cesar Montes’ man-marking in previous Clasico Regiomontanos.
