TLDR

  • Tigres defeated Chivas 3-1 in the first leg of their Clausura 2026 quarter-final match.
  • Tigres came from behind after Chivas initially took the lead.
  • The victory gives Tigres a significant advantage heading into the second leg, while Chivas faces an uphill battle to advance.

Tigres secured a crucial 3-1 victory over Chivas in the first leg of their Clausura 2026 quarter-final, staging a remarkable comeback after falling behind early. The roar of the home crowd at the Estadio Universitario was palpable as goals from Juan Brunetta and Diego Sánchez, following an early opener from Chivas' Ricardo Marín, sealed a commanding win for the 'Felinos'.

This result, however, wasn't just about the scoreline; it ignited a fiery exchange off the pitch between Tigres' goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán and commentator Jorge Pietrasanta. Pietrasanta questioned Tigres' "big team" status by tweeting, "Tigres has been crying and complaining for 45 minutes!! Is that a big team?" Guzmán, never one to shy away from a verbal sparring match, responded with biting sarcasm, questioning Pietrasanta's journalistic integrity given his extensive experience.

Tigres lleva 45 minutos llorando y reclamando!! Eso es un equipo grande?

— Jorge PietrasantaCommentator Jorge Pietrasanta questioned Tigres' character on social media during the match.

"Imagine having studied for a bachelor's degree in Communication Sciences and a doctorate in Sports Journalism. Working in that for more than 35 years, covering World Cups... and making an analysis like this... is that journalism?" Guzmán retorted on social media, complete with a shrug emoji, implicitly criticizing the commentator's biased or simplistic take on the game.

Now, Chivas faces a daunting task in the second leg at the Estadio Akron. They must overcome a two-goal deficit, needing at least a 2-0 victory to advance on aggregate due to Tigres' superior regular-season standing. The pressure is immense, and the psychological advantage clearly lies with Tigres, fueled by their comeback victory and Guzmán's online antics.

Imagínate haber estudiado la licenciatura en Ciencias de la Comunicación y un doctorado en Periodismo Deportivo. Trabajar hace mas de 35 años de eso, cubrir mundiales... y hacer un análisis como este...🤷🏽‍♂️ eso es periodismo?
