Tigres UANL faces a major challenge after Ángel Correa’s exit. Sebastián Pizarro, the team’s head coach, admitted filling the void left by the Argentine striker won’t be easy in the tournament opener.
What did Pizarro say about Correa?
The Argentine manager noted that Correa -who scored 15 goals in 2025- leaves a major offensive gap. Pizarro stressed the ex-player’s scoring ability and clutch impact, calling his departure a tough loss for the squad. While options exist, none match his experience and killer instinct.
Tigres UANL sits at 0 points after a 3-1 loss to Club Tijuana on July 17, 2026, leaving them 17th in Liga MX with just 1 goal scored and 3 conceded (goal difference of -2). The team, still winless, trails league leaders Cruz Azul by 6 points.
Why is this a major setback?
Correa was Tigres UANL’s offensive hub for five seasons, averaging 0.42 goals per game. His move to Cruz Azul leaves a void in a side already struggling: no wins so far and a shaky start to the campaign.
Pizarro urged quick adaptation. André-Pierre Gignac, the captain, must step up, but the coach stressed the need for more firepower up front. Fans are already restless after the poor start.
What’s next for Tigres UANL?
The club is eyeing reinforcements to boost the attack. Names like Alan Cervantes (Pumas) and Julián Quiñones (América) are in play, though no deals are done yet. Meanwhile, Tigres UANL gears up for their next clash: a home game vs Atlético San Luis on July 26, 2026 (12th in the table).
Pizarro kept the title goal alive. Tigres UANL must bounce back fast to close the gap on the leaders and steady their campaign. Fans, ever demanding, are already dissecting every move in this rocky start.
*Liga MX: Tigres UANL sit 17th with 0 points, 0W-0D-1L from 1 game, recent form L. Next fixture: vs Atlético San Luis (26/07/2026).
