Víctor Manuel Vucetich's debut as Tigres UANL coach ended in a 2-0 victory over Atlante, with goals from Rodrigo Aguirre and Juan Brunetta. Aguirre, who hadn't scored since May 5 after his Champions Cup win against Nashville, opened the scoring on the 25th minute. Brunetta, recovered from an injury, added the second goal on the 67th minute. The win ended a 108-day drought without regular-time victories for the team.
Reactivation of key players
Nahuel Guzmán was crucial, saving a penalty and leading the defense. His presence was vital to prevent Atlante from capitalizing on their numerical advantage. Brunetta, a key attacking reinforcement, proved his quality by converting a pass from Guzmán on the 67th minute. Aguirre, after 108 days without victories, restored confidence with his first goal in the tournament.
Redemption after a negative streak
The win marked the start of a recovery for Tigres, which began with three losses and a draw in the first four matches. Vucetich, with experience in Mexican football, aims to restore the team's identity and make its main players relevant again. The victory over Atlante was the first step toward regaining confidence and continuity in the Apertura 2026.
