Gran jugada de Nando Gorriarán que termina con gol suyo. Personalmente se me hace que ya se consolidó como titular en el Tigres.#Tigres #Regio #LeaguesCup2023 #Gorriaran

Meanwhile, San José needs to win, but with a two-goal difference, as any other result will leave them out of the competition.

Tigres only needs a win, a draw (without considering the penalty shootout with the extra point) to be in the next round, as a 1-0 defeat would still qualify them for the next round.

The UANL Tigres go for the win to stay alive in the Leagues Cup against San José, in the closing match of the Group Stage of the Leagues Cup 2023.

Tigres and San Jose Earthquakes will meet for the first time in an official tournament.

The most thoughtful guy and the one who could change the history of the game is forward Cristian Espinoza, who will need to have the ball constantly at his feet so that the team can be more creative up front.

Although he is one of the oldest players on the team and after overcoming an injury, Frenchman André-Pierre Gignac continues to be the soul of this offense and proof of this was in their last match when, with a goal from the Frenchman, they ended up beating La Fiera at home and will try to repeat the performance this Sunday to guarantee their second victory in the Leagues Cup 2023, where they are one of the favorites to win the championship.

Nahuel Guzmán, Samir, Guido Pizarro, Jesús Angulo, Javier Aquino, Rafael Carioca, Fernando Gorriarán, Juan Vigón, André-Pierre Gignac, Luis Quiñones and Nico López.

DT Robert Dante Siboldi said he was happy with UANL's first victory in the Leagues Cup, although he assured that on this occasion they benefited from the various controversial refereeing decisions.

"We are calm and happy with the victory, it was our objective to start winning, as well as the objective of competing, not only to present ourselves in the tournament, we want to compete and reach the final instances and achieve the championship, today was a good victory and we were favored by the fact that in the second half we played with an extra player", he emphasized in the press conference.

The San José Earthquakes will have the advantage of playing at home, however, the win by the minimum difference is no good for them, as they would have to win by two goals on goal difference if they want to be among the best 32 in the Leagues Cup; however, they will have to improve defensively, where they were very weak in the first match.

Despite their 2-1 victory in the first match against Portland Timbers, the UANL Tigres are not guaranteed a place in the next phase, but they have all the ingredients to achieve this and only need a win or a draw (with or without a win in the penalty shootout) to reach the round of 16 of the Leagues Cup Final 16.

The Tigres vs San Jose Earthquakes match will be played at the PayPal Park, in San Jose, United States. The kick-off is scheduled at 11:00 pm ET.
