Necaxa had victory within reach at El Volcán, but missed its best chance and had to settle for a 1-1 draw with Tigres.

The Rayos took the lead in the 11th minute when Owen González reacted quickest after Matías Espíndola’s individual effort struck the crossbar. Necaxa continued pressing for a second goal before Tigres could respond.

Its clearest opportunity came after referee Karen Hernández awarded a penalty following a VAR review. Julián Carranza stepped up, but Tigres goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán saved the shot in the 24th minute, keeping his team in the match.

Tigres improved as the half progressed and equalized in the 40th minute. Rodrigo Aguirre rose to meet a corner and headed the ball into the Necaxa net, rescuing the home side from a defeat that would have deepened its problems.

Neither team found a winner after the break. The result left Necaxa frustrated after losing a chance to move closer to the playoff places, while Tigres remained in poor form with only six points from 21 available. The draw also did not lift either club into the qualification zone.
