A match that promises goals
For Tigres to advance to the semifinals, it is crucial that they obtain a victory at the Gigante de Acero stadium, overcoming the previous negative result at the Volcán.
They need a win with a difference of at least two goals, such as 0-2 or 1-3, to ensure direct qualification. If they win by a single goal, it would not be enough because away goals are no longer considered to break the tie.
According to the regulations, in the event of a tie in total goals, the team with the best position in the general table at the end of matchday 17 is the one that advances. Let us remember that Monterrey finished in fourth place with 32 points and Tigres in fifth with 31 points. which gave Monterrey the advantage of closing at home and the possibility of advancing with a tie on the aggregate score.
Tigres is required to win by a difference of two goals or more to remain in the competition.
