Tigres returned to victory in the Liga MX after comfortably beating Mazatlán 5-1 on Matchday 12 of Clausura 2024, a duel marked by Marcelo Flores’ double, his first in Mexican soccer.
With this result, those led by Robert Dante Siboldi rose to sixth place in the general table with 21 points, while those led by Ismael Rescalvo are in fifteenth place with nine points.
In the first half the cats were vastly superior and this was reflected in the goals scored by their two starting wingers for this match, such as Luis Quiñones and Marcelo Flores.
The night of Marcelo Flores
The scoring was opened by Marcelo Flores just in the 9th minute, when he received a pass in the area, turned around and crossed goalkeeper Hugo González’s far post.
It seemed that Mazatlán tied the game at minute 21, when Gustavo del Prete received a pass into space that he only had to cross to beat Felipe Rodríguez; However, the goal was disallowed due to a previous foul by José Madueña on Marcelo Flores.
The Auriazules’ second fell in the 49th minute, in stoppage time, when André-Pierre Gignac provided an assist for Luis Quiñones, who took a shot that fell into the back of the net for the 2-0 score.
Marcelo Flores scored the third of the match in the 59th minute and his double with a header alone in the area after a center from Juan Brunetta from the right profile.
Luis Amarilla scored for the Sinaloans in the 68th minute in a play that won the race for goalkeeper Felipe Rodríguez, taking advantage of the fact that he gave himself up at the start and scored with the goal open to make the score 3-1 in the Volcán.
Carlos Felipe Rodríguez recovered from his mistake in Amarilla’s goal with a great attempt to keep the ball after a header from Sergio Flores, the second save in less than two minutes.
Nico Ibáñez scored the fourth with a chipped ball to beat Hugo Gónzalez in the 82nd minute and Samir Caetano closed the account with the fifth of the night from a pass from Sebastián Córdova in the 85th minute.
Tigres will have a friendly game next Friday against York United of the Canadian Premier League to get into the rhythm of the March FIFA date.
