Tigres Aim for Another Road Miracle in Toluca, Just Like 2015

Tigres UANL must win away to book their ticket to the Liga MX final – a daunting task, yet one they've conquered before. As Olé reported, the first leg of the Clausura 2025 semifinal ended in a 1-1 draw, setting the stage for a decisive clash this Saturday at Toluca's Estadio Nemesio Díez.

It’s a setting Tigres fans remember fondly. In the 2015 Apertura semifinals, after a scoreless home leg, they defeated Toluca 2-0 on the road to reach the final. Similar feats followed: a 2-1 away win over Monterrey in the Apertura 2017 final, and back-to-back away victories in the Clausura 2023 semifinals and final.

Now, Pizarro's side faces the challenge again, this time without key players like André-Pierre Gignac, Osvaldo Rodríguez and Rafael Guerrero, all sidelined with muscular injuries. Meanwhile, Toluca, who topped the regular season standings, is motivated by their solid away result and head coach Antonio Mohamed’s conviction: "We’ll play our way and go for the win at home," he told the press, urging his team to finish the job in front of their fans
