After what was clearly their worst showing of the season thus far last Saturday, Tigres were rightfully handed their first defeat of the Clausura 2023, leaving América as the only remaining undefeated club. An ugly first half with no true approaches on goal and a 0-2 halftime deficit in the Universitario is something that fans certainly aren’t used to in San Nicolás de los Garza. A late reaction coupled with a retreating Chivas (as usual under Veljko Paunoviu0107) who love to put themselves in that position with a lead, nearly allowed for the equalizer, but it wasn’t enough.
And the media have certainly seized the moment.
