Classic rivalry finds itself on the continental stage for the first time.
From the Estadio Universitario in Nuevo León, Mexico, it's Tigres and Monterey
in their first ever match in the CONCACAF W Champions Cup.
Is blown and we are in motion, let's enjoy this together.
Here we go in Nuevo León in the CONCACAF W Champions Cup, Tigres and Monterey.
Tembi to the edge of the box, skips past one, to the end line,
cuts it back, rolls all the way to the top of the area, left footed strike, spins well wide.
A line splitting pass, an in on goal, spread across the middle and almost a no.
Swung in by Delgado, good ball to the back post and it's headed wide.
Look at this burst of speed from Tembi, Tembi into the middle,
shouts for handball, still loose, still loose on the doorstep and stabbed away.
Now the shouts continue for handball, remember there's no VAR in this tournament.
So the referee's original decision will go.
Ovalle bending it all the way to the backside and a chance to cross.
Now with the left foot deflected, backside headed partially clear,
it'll be hunted down by Hermoso.
So Hermoso through for Tembi, Tembi and it rolled and across for Hermoso,
first time strike came off a defender.
Fans shouting for handball, none of the players really were.
Back down, opportunity with the right, there it is for Tigres.
Their first ever goal in the CONCACAF W Champions Cup.
It's a classical goal, it's 1-0 Tigres in this Classico Reggio.
Tembi trying to keep this in play, she does and she nutmegs a defender
and Tembi spins into the box, it's a free kick right on the edge of the area,
it's not a penalty, the foul occurred just outside the 18.
It will be the first yellow card of the night, the stepovers.
Ovalle still, now the cross, backside 2-0.
Hermoso, beautiful for Tigres, such a well-worked goal,
their pressure pays once again,
they are running away from their arch rivals in this first half.
Free kick here, driven toward goal and just wide,
trying to catch Cecilio Santiago off her line.
For a moment, Tigres still might have a third before the end of the half.
Served through into the area, helped across the face,
Tembi, big chance, Tembi scores, it is three before half.
Tigres totally dominant and they are running past
Monterrey, running away over the hills in the Classico Reggio.
Here's Garcia, who's been bright so far, Garcia with a strike
and guarded at the near post by Santiago.
Not sure if that might have spun just wide,
Santiago couldn't take the chance and brings it in.
Here's Jenny Hermoso, it's saved, rebound is there and it's saved again.
Tahonar with a double stop to keep it at 3-0.
Ovalle, Hermoso and another save from Tahonar.
Tembi lurking at that backside.
Tigres free kick taken by Ovalle down the line, tons of space for Reyes.
Reyes ball into the middle and off the foot of the post and wide.
Now played along, chance for number four, one step, then the finish, 4-0.
Tigres continue to triumph tonight.
Outswinging ball toward the penalty spot, strong header,
blocked down by the defense, recycled to the wing.
Cruz in low this time, runs all the way through
and sprawled and clutched by Tahonar.
Bull Perez take the outswinger.
Puts it into a good area and it's headed just over,
tickling the top of that net.
Closest Monterey have come tonight.
Now from distance and just wide
and with the final kick of the game, there's the final whistle, it's over.
Another Classico victory for Tigres
and this one comes on the continental scene.
