In a match that saw Tigres UANL advance to the Round of 16 of the Concachampions, the team achieved a convincing 4-1 victory over Forge FC. Although they were not particularly dazzling, Tigres were effective, showcasing their offensive prowess through Rodrigue Aguirre, who marked the occasion with a brace in his debut after joining the team recently. His performance was pivotal, as he was given the starting spot despite limited training time with the team, which highlighted the confidence placed in him by coach Guido Pizarro.

The match started well for Tigres, showing dominance in the early minutes, but they also faced some threatening counter-attacks from the Canadian side. Aguirre's double helped ensure that any of the Forge's fleeting moments of danger were quelled, allowing Tigres to secure their progress in the tournament. The goal-scoring began when Tigres capitalized on a set piece, leading to their first goal, after which their confidence soared and the team continued to control the match tempo.

With this victory, Tigres not only secured a spot in the knockout stages of the tournament but also boosted their morale significantly as they look to build on this momentum in future matches. Aguirre’s debut performance may be a turning point for his season and his contributions will be crucial as the team aims for success in the Concachampions and beyond.
