2023-07-02 03:08:12

Tigres began the Apertura 2023 tournament with a duel against Puebla that seemed to produce a bad result, since the feline offensive could not materialize; However, in stoppage time Nico Ibáñez, who had missed many clear scoring options in the match, tied 1-1 at 93‘.

The auriazules had the absences of Sebastián Córdova and André-Pierre Gignac due to injurythat of the Frenchman who showed up shortly before the game, due to discomfort in his left leg, in such a way that Tanque Ibáñez had to start the game.

This is how the champion started

At minute 7, Nico had the opportunity to open the scoring, but he stumbled with the ball in the area and wasted a clear opportunity, after a powerful shot from Fernando Gorriarán.

Puebla also had its share immediately, as Federico Mancuello took a free kick and the ball went just past Nahuel Guzmán’s goal.

The goal cry was heard at 19′, when the goalkeeper rejected a ball and Diego Reyes headed the ball into the net; however, he was in a forward position and did not count.

Not even a minute passed when another emotion arrived at the Volcano, Rafa Carioca from long distance connected powerfully and almost scored a great goal, the ball passed by one side.

The camoteros wanted to react to a feline dominance and Martín Barragán almost made the first, he shot looking for the near post and Nahuel was able to save, although with a bit of trouble.

At minute 34′, Luis Quiñones took a dangerous shot, but now the Puebla goalkeeper was going to show off deflecting that shot; later, 40′ Nico tried a kind of Chilean, although it was almost on the grass and the ball went to one side.

Nico once again forgave at 45′, after a cross from Quiñones, Gorriarán headed it to Ibáñez, who wanted to score before the goalkeeper left, but he won the duel.

Puebla went up

Barely at minute 47′, Brayan Angulo put Puebla up, after Nahuel rejected a ball and left it to La Franja so that he could only push the 1-0.

Tigres was distracted and Luis Arcadio García, who had just entered, took a long-distance shot that ended up in the net; It was a great goal at 52′, but through the VAR it was analyzed and annulled minutes later due to an advanced position.

The ‘bear’ of Nico Ibáñez

The cats were inside the area and Juan Pablo Vigón gave Ibáñez a perfect pass, ready for him to push only, without a mark and practically without a goalkeeper, but incredibly he flew that ball at 61′.

Later at 73′, there was a series of rebounds inside the area again and Nico Ibáñez couldn’t control it and then settled down and shot.

Despite this, Tigres kept trying and even Guido Pizarro had the opportunity to score the goal, but the ball flew.

From villain to hero

The referee added eight minutes and Tigres knew how to take advantage of it, because Luis Quiñones, despite being pulled at his jersey, did not stop and fired from the left wing; the goalkeeper Rodríguez rejected and the ball was left to Ibáñez, who now was able to make it happen, sent the ball headlong into the net to celebrate the 1-1 that would be final on the scoreboard.
