Unbelievable. Paraguayan defender Bruno Valdez was responsible for equalizing the match against América against Tigres in the semifinals of the Leagues Cup 2019. The 'Águilas' central player scored a regrettable own goal just seconds before the end of the match at BBVA Compass Stadium. This meant the final 2-2 result in regular time and subsequently led to penalties in favor of the 'Felinos'.
The match between América and Tigres has been one of the most attractive of the round. The winner of the tie will now face the winner of the series between Cruz Azul and LA Galaxy, who will face each other in a few hours. Both teams are fielding their strongest lineup.
Bruno Valdez scores own goal for the last-minute 2-2 draw of América-Tigres
The 'Águilas' are facing this match after achieving an important victory in the Liga MX. The team led by Miguel Herrera earned three points playing at home against Monarcas Morelia (1-0).
'Memo' Ochoa, who was welcomed by a crowd last week, was not in good physical condition, according to 'Piojo' Herrera. In the previous sessions, the goalkeeper trained normally, but ultimately stayed on the bench.
On the other hand, Tigres has brought their best players to reach the final of the Leagues Cup. The 'Felinos', against América, will try to get rid of the thorn after drawing (1-1) against Atlético San Luis in the Liga MX.
