Tigres UANL vs Nashville SC ｜ 2026 Concacaf Champions Cup ｜ Semifinals

A place in the Champions Cup final will be decided tonight at a bubbling El Vulcan from Nuevo León. It is Tigres and Nashville SC in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup semi-final with Tigres carrying a 1-0 lead into this decider. Downs over, the opening whistle sounds and we are rolling in Nuevo León for a spot in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final. Brunetta clips it in and all the way through and out. This is good into the middle for Espinoza. Espinoza wide. They still struggle to break down the back line but that's given away by Palacios and now Aguirre misses wide. Quick turnaround and strike by Rodrigo Aguirre. Palacios putting it right off Brunetta here for Madrigal. Madrigal still. Madrigal had it taken away. Shouts for a penalty. He's called for the foul instead Warren Madrigal and Madrigal eventually commits the foul on Angulo. Takes it down off the chest, does very well. It just wouldn't sit down for him. He wanted to hit it on the half volley first time but he couldn't do it. It was a good tackle from Angulo. Forward for Nashville. He has Mawile to his left. Madrigal able to beat a man and wins a free kick on the edge of the area and it leads to the first booking of the night for Tigres as Angulo is shown the yellow. Is this his moment? Mukhtar, it's not. It's over the bar. Aguirre trying to get turned. Flores on target but not with much behind him. Mukhtar looming and lurking behind him and there's halftime. No change from the status coming in so far. Tigres 45 minutes closer to a final. Nashville last weekend and scored their third goal in that game. So will he liven things up for Tigres in this second half? We're back underway in Nuevo Leon. Wide open in the middle. This is Garza. Thought about shooting. Instead Correa. Correa into the middle. Cleared by Mawile. Some of those mistakes starting to creep in for Nashville. And now Correa from the restart. Bursting inside. Laying it back. Bernetta scores. Long switch out to this left. Doesn't reach Baker Whiting. Linus headed it along. Here goes Diego Sanchez for Tigres. Sanchez, Correa. Let it run too far. It's being pulled back I think for a foul and there will be a free kick for Tigres. Wide for Linus. The underlap for Garza. It's ball into the middle. Didn't find anyone. Touchdown and struck by Reyes just over the bar. Started this year. Joined on loan from second division Atlante. Vigon. Correa. Tigres in no rush now. Garza. Underlap. Correa. Heavy first touch. Starting to look tired. Repetitive to talk about how much they've missed Sam Surage throughout this semi-final but that's yet another example of it. Pacias with his back to goal. Couldn't hold it up. It loses it. Here goes Sanchez through the middle. 1v3. Correa will leave this for Linus. Side netting. Whips it back post. It's cleared away. Champions Cup final. It's a golden night for the Golden Blues and they will play for Continental Silverware on May 30th.
