Tigres defeated Cruz Azul by the slightest difference in the first leg of the Liga MX Clausura 2022 quarterfinals. With a curious goal by Jesús Dueñas, the UANL team beat the Celeste Machine. However, one of the most commented topics of the duel was the rigorous expulsion of Nicolás López. The Uruguayan saw a straight red card after trying to contest a ball and accidentally hitting Luis Abram.
In the first instance, the whistler Fernando Hernández showed a yellow card for a dangerous game, but after reviewing the play in the VAR, he changed his decision and showed the red card. Miguel Herrera, technical director of the felines, was also expelled for angrily demanding this decision. Later in the match, Christian Tabó, from Cruz Azul, starred in a play very similar to that of ‘Diente’ López, but the referee only admonished.
According to the most recent reports, Tigres will not appeal the expulsions of Nicolás López and Miguel Herrera. According to information from Telediario, the board of the feline team wanted to put aside the arbitration issues to concentrate fully on the return leg against the cruzazulinos at the Volcano this Sunday, May 15.
For this vital duel, the UANL team will not be able to count on their coach on the bench and will not have Nicolás López at their disposal, who practically did not play a leading role throughout Clausura 2022.
For the weekend appointment, ‘Piojo’ Herrera will have to find variants to overcome the absence of ‘Diente’ and Florian Thauvin. Raymundo Fulgencio signs up as an alternative for the attack. Likewise, Herrera can bet on Carlos González from the start in a different scheme.
