Tigres came through with a big victory after defeating Pumas by a 1-0 score in the first leg of the semifinal. It was a very even match that was changed after a red card left Pumas with 10 players. Tigres seem to be almost through to the final as they head home with Pumas not only having to defeat them away, but needing to do so by two goals in a stadium where Pumas have struggled recently.
The match started with Pumas coming out with the same 11 from their last match on Sunday against Chivas. Without the injured Andre Pierre Gignac, Tigres came out with a more defensive lineup with Nicolas Ibañez taking the place of the injured striker.
