Tigre earned three important points in the Liga Profesional after defeating Estudiantes 1-0 in their match on Matchday 15 of the Clausura. Elías Cabrera was the standout performer, scoring the only goal of the match in the 23rd minute of the first half.
After receiving a well-placed cross from Sebastián Medina, Cabrera unleashed a powerful shot from inside the penalty area that left the opposing goalkeeper with no chance to save.
