Tigres UANL were eliminated from the Copa Betpaly 2026 after suffering a heavy 4-0 defeat against Atlético Nacional in Bogotá. The team, who entered the match with a poor run in Liga MX (15th place, 1 point in 2 games), failed to respond against the Colombian side, who advanced to the round of 16 with a 4-0 aggregate score.
What happened in the match?
The game started with an early goal from Nicolás Rodríguez at the 29th minute, who took advantage of a short cross to score with a first-time shot. In the second half, Alfredo Morelos sealed the result with a chipped goal inside the box. Tigres UANL, who drew 2-2 against Atlético San Luis in their last match, couldn’t create any danger in the opponent’s goal.
Why is this important for Tigres UANL?
This elimination in the Copa Betpaly 2026 worsens the team’s poor run of results, as they have only one point in two Liga MX games (0 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). With 3 goals scored and 5 conceded, Ricardo Ferretti’s side needs an urgent reaction before their next match against Querétaro on August 1.
What’s next for Tigres UANL?
After this defeat, Tigres UANL will focus on improving their performance in Liga MX, where they are currently 5 points behind leaders Club Tijuana. Their next game will be against Querétaro (9th place) at the Corregidora Stadium, where they will seek their first win of the season.
