The clash between Tigres and Chivas marked the opening leg of a heated Mexican tournament, a meeting that many fans had been anticipating since last season’s finale.
As the big day arrived, the two storied teams faced off at a university stadium filled with energy. The Tigers stepped onto the field ready to recapture momentum after a tough road win against their archrivals, Rayados. Under the leadership of Robert Dante Siboldi, they aimed to seize the advantage in the first game and carry that momentum into the return leg a week later in Perla Tapatia.
Meanwhile, Chivas, guided by Veljko Paunovic, echoed the same determination after a challenging path that included a decisive victory over America. The squad from Guadalajara sought to send a strong message in the opening chapter of the Clausura campaign, signaling their intent to push deep into the competition.
The 90 minutes at El Volcán delivered a tense, goalless encounter that left both teams hungry for a breakthrough. With the tie level, the second leg in Perla Tapatía loomed as the key moment to decide the fate of the first semester championship in Mexican football.
