Wednesday, February 28, 'Volcán' Universitario stadium field. The UANL Tigers received a visit from Juarez FCfor the duel corresponding to matchday number nine of the Clausura 2024 tournament.
What seemed to be a mere formality match for the Nicolaíta squad, taking into consideration that they were facing the bottom of the general table, ended up being more complicated for Robert Dante Siboldi's team, who, from the stands, saw and could not find the way to tip the balance in favor of the locals.
It was until the eighty-seventh minute when André-Pierre Gignac, who just came on as a substitute in the second half to replace Juan Pablo Vigón, took advantage of a cross sent by Jesús Angulo; styled by Nico Ibáñez, to send the ball to save and thus rescue a victory more than necessary for the claims of the 'U' of Nuevo León.
Beyond the 200 or so goals that Gignac has scored with Tigres, what makes him UNIQUE is his habit of showing up ALWAYS when the team needs him.
Top?
Has been.
But NO ONE as DETERMINING as the French…
