'We did not have a good game' - Herrera blasts Tigres for following old habits

Despite winning their season opener on Sunday, the new boss felt his players weren't following instructions

Miguel Herrera has blasted his players after their 2-1 win over Club Tijuana to open the Liga MX season, saying they "did not have a good game" and need to correct their approach to match his instructions.

It was Herrera's first league match in charge, and several key senior players including French duo Andre-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin were away from the team on international duty, but he nonetheless expected better.

Tigres took a two-goal advantage through Carlos Gonzalez and Juan Pablo Vigon before conceding a bizarre deflected goal in the 74th minute to force a tense final stretch.
