Tigres UANL will invite Cincinnati to the Estadio Universitario in the second leg of the CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 on Thursday. The visitors secured a comfortable 3-0 win in the first leg last week and are close to booking their place in the next round.
Los Auriazules failed to score for the second match in a row on Sunday, as they were held to a goalless draw by Querétaro in the Liga MX Clausura phase.
Thanks for the submission!
