Tigres UANL advanced to the Concacaf Champions Cup final for the first time since 2020 after a narrow victory over Nashville SC. The match ended 1-0, giving Tigres a 2-0 aggregate win in the semifinal.
Juan Brunetta scored the only goal of the match in the 67th minute. Nashville SC struggled offensively, failing to register a single shot on target throughout the game. This performance marked a disappointing end to their historic run in the tournament.
The match took place at Estadio Universitario “El Volcán” in front of a vibrant home crowd. Nashville SC’s Patrick Yazbek was injured during warm-ups and replaced by Bryan Acosta. Meanwhile, Tigres UANL’s Fernando Gorriarán had to leave the field due to a knee injury in the 14th minute.
Tigres UANL will now face the winner of the series between Toluca and LAFC in the final. The team looks to capitalize on this momentum as they prepare for their next challenge.
Nashville SC will return to MLS play on May 9 against D.C. United. This was their first appearance in the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinal round in club history.
