In a friendly match played at the Estadio Universitario, the reserve team of Tigres UANL faced Santiago FC from the Liga Premier, resulting in a scoreless draw. The match consisted of two thirty-minute halves, providing a chance for players who have had limited playing time to showcase their abilities. Key players like Juan Brunetta and André Pierre Gignac, along with younger talents from the U21 team, participated in the match, allowing the coaching staff to evaluate their performance in a competitive setting.

The friendly was part of Tigres' preparations for the upcoming competitive fixtures, and the game was held behind closed doors, limiting attendance primarily to fans who had won promotional tickets. This approach not only helps maintain focus on team performance but also simulates match conditions for players who are not regular starters in the league. The lack of scored goals highlights the ongoing work needed to improve the offensive cohesion of the Tigres squad.

Despite the draw, the match provided valuable experience for the younger and less experienced players who emerged impressed with their performance against a competitive opponent in Santiago FC. As Tigres looks forward to the regular season, opportunities like these are crucial for building a resilient squad capable of challenging for titles in future matches.
