The match between Tigres and Querétaro, held on Sunday at the iconic Volcán stadium, concluded in a frustrating goalless draw for both teams in their eleventh match of the season.
Smoking the spotlight was Nahuel Guzmán, Tigres’ goalkeeper, who delivered an impressive performance by saving 7 shots from the Querétaro attackers. Meanwhile, his counterpart, José Hernández, also stood out with 3 vital saves for Querétaro.
Tigres’ head coach, Guido Pizarro, opted for a 4-4-2 formation featuring Nahuel Guzmán in goal; a defensive line comprised of Jesús Garza, Jesús Angulo, Vladimir Loroña, and Rafael Guerrero; a midfield that included César Araujo, Juan Brunetta, Marcelo Flores, and Ozziel Herrera; and forwards André-Pierre Gignac and Rodrigo Aguirre.
On the other side, Querétaro’s Esteban González also set up a 4-4-2 formation, with Guillermo Allison as the goalkeeper; a defense line of Lucas Abascia, Diego Reyes, Bayron Duarte, and Daniel Parra; a midfield featuring Carlo García, Santiago Homenchenko, Jhojan Julio, and Juan Cázares; and a front line of Ali Ávila and Mateo Coronel.
The match was officiated by referee Óscar Mejía García.
Looking ahead, Tigres will visit FC Juárez in the next round while Querétaro is set to face Atlas at the Estadio Jalisco. Currently, the local team holds the sixth place with 17 points, while Querétaro remains in the seventeenth position with just 7 points in the tournament.
