Nuevo León, Monterrey.- What seemed like a disappointing Clásico Regio Tigres-Rayados at the Estadio Universitario ended with a 2-0 victory for those led by Miguel “Piojo” Herrera. The French power made up of André-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin ruled the game so that the felines are the new leaders momentarily.
Throughout the first half, each team respected each other on the field of play, there was no play that made the defense uneasy, causing a negative atmosphere, as the fans expressed their anger at the end of the first half due to the low intensity of both the visit and the of the premises.
Tigres maintained the highest percentage of ball possession, although they did not find enough clarity to wet Edgar Andrada’s door, while Monterrey thought of taking advantage of the most important ball of the game to silence El Volcán, they almost succeeded after a dangerous shot by Sebastián Vegas that scratched the base of the post defended by Nahuel Guzmán.
Starting from the 55th minute, the Universitarios began to bother the Albiazul goalkeeper in a very French style. Florian Thauvin carried the ball to the right and, looking at Juan Pablo Vigón, threw the ball into the area, which he managed to finish off, but Andrada reacted with the slap to prevent the first of the night.
Immediately André-Pierre Gignac almost found a capricious ball in the smaller rectangle, however it bounced off his legs until it left the field. Tigres’ first was sniffed out and the victory began to take hold when Gignac scored a great goal 68′ after an assist from Luis Quiñones on the edge of the area.
The arrival of the goal boxed the Rayados de Monterrey who lost concentration in ten minutes, including the goalkeeper Andrada, because he left his goal unguarded and when Thauvin walked through the trench he detected that the goalkeeper was out of his frame and dared to shoot from the band to score a great goal that ended the rest of the Clásico Regio 127.
The ‘U’ of Nuevo León walks in a dangerous way in the C2022 campaign of the Liga MX and at the moment is located at the top with 23 units, instead Rayados suffered his first defeat in the new era of Víctor Manuel Vucetich, remaining with the 15 points that he achieved during the week against FC Juárez.
