Tigres UANL secured their first Apertura 2026 victory by defeating Atlante 2-0 at the Estadio Universitario. The win ended a 100-day winless streak. Goals from Rodrigo Aguirre (79') and Juan Brunetta (89') sealed the result. The match was dominated by Tigres, though Atlante had key chances, including a missed penalty by Nahuel Guzmán (72') and a shot from Luis Puente stopped by Óscar Jiménez. The expulsion of Luis Calzadilla (36') further disadvantaged Atlante, but Tigres failed to capitalize in the first half. Coach Víctor Manuel Vucetich celebrated the victory as a turning point for his team.
