What They're Saying
Tigres UANL manager Ricardo Ferretti (via Aqui Mexico): "In regard to the [2-2] result [against Monterrey last weekend], I wasn't satisfied. But what the team did, I can do nothing but applaud them. We have a team that looks like the university hospital is in our stadium. We have a very delicate situation, many injuries and to be able to hold in a game with that much intensity is worth praise."
"I'm very proud of the men," he added. "Many lasted for more than 90 minutes, a physical thing that surpasses the limits of a high performance athlete. For that matter, I have nothing but praise."
Tactical Preview
Player to Watch: Tigres UANL's Herculez Gomez has made nine total appearances for the club this season. The 32-year-old, showing his deterioration, has just one goal and one created chance; however, with a congested schedule, he is projected to feature for Ferratti in an attempt to rotate the roster.
Tigres UANL's Projected Lineup (4-2-3-1): Guzman; Torres, Ayala, Juninho, Estrada; Pizarro, Alvarez, Rios, Martinez, Lugo; Gomez
