Monterrey.- The Tigres suffered and when they were eliminated, a goal by Sebastián Córdova put them in the Semifinals.
With the score down 3-0, which gave Toluca a pass, Córdova appeared to revive some Tigres and with 3-1, the cats won 5-4 overall, in the second leg of the Quarterfinals.
Now all that remains is for Chivas to overcome Atlas (1-0) for there to be a royal Semifinal between Tigres and Rayados, securing a royal in the 2023 Clausura Final of the MX League.
When it seemed that the Tigres would be eliminated after the 3 goals that Toluca needed, a connection came between André-pierre Gignac and Juan Pablo Vigón that Córdova settled for the goal that brought the cats back to life.
the devil is released
In the first half, Toluca put the Tigres against the wall.
First Iván “Gacelo” López scored, who came free from Diego Reyes’s mark and from a shot that Jesús Angulo deflected, it fell 1-0 at minute 25.
When the first half was expiring, the former cat Carlos González beat Diego Reyes with speed and put a cross right past Marcel Ruiz’s front to make it 2-0 in compensation.
In the second half, Toluca got the pass goal, making it 3-0 thanks to “Gacelo” López. From a ball combed by González, the other scarlet striker made his double.
The feline reaction
From the scarlet bench came a change that helped the Tigers; Ignacio Ambriz put Jorge Torres Nilo in for a line of five and there he paid his penance.
Toluca gave up the initiative and Tigres got closer little by little until they found the pass goal at minute 71, through Córdova, who became the figure of the series.
The Tigres will face Monterrey or América in the Semis.
