The team of Diego Cocca finally achieves its first victory in its era

The team of Diego Cocca finally achieved its first victory in its era in a match that had gray periods and little excitement, but like a Siberian tiger, it endured and hunted its prey until the end when it faced an expelled element to win 1-0 in its second match of the Copa Por México.

The White Tigers showed their defensive neatness, changing from a four-line to five-line when they went from having to concede the ball; however, the fans were impatient for not having any excitement up front.

Raymundo Fulgencio had to leave in the cart of misfortunes in the 38th minute, the Mexican could not support it after suffering a discomfort after an impact and had to give his place to Florian Thauvin, whom luck was smiling with a new opportunity.

The referee blew the end of a tasteless first half that caused the booing of a sector of the fans, who showed their dissatisfaction with the performance of their team.

Tigres could have their first dangerous opportunity in the 52nd minute, after a ball recovery by Gignac who passed the ball to his compatriot Thauvin who shot right where Camilo Vargas was.

The missed opportunity by 'Champion du Monde' awakened the present fans who were cheering on their men despite the cold.

Atlas went on to play with ten players from the 63rd minute, after Adonai Escobedo expelled Aldo Rocha after showing him the direct red card for a strong complaint to the referee.

A couple of minutes later, the newly entered Nicolás López was able to bring down a ball to the 'Bómboro' who shot the ball to score a great goal that was quickly canceled due to an obvious offside by the 'Diente'.

Tigres' game was already more joyful and purposeful when facing a team with numerical inferiority, the arrivals were constant and more dangerous, but the goal did not come.

After a corner kick in the 84th minute, Jesús Angulo opened the scoring in the night and in the Cocca era after a right-footed shot from outside the area, placing the ball on the right post of the red-and-black team.

Seconds after the goal, Luis Quiñones had a clear miss in front of the goal after a moment of clarity from the 'Diente' who gave him half a goal on the way.

In the second half, André-Pierre Gignac made a great move by throwing a scissor kick that only lacked finishing in a goal, as it ended up in the hands of the Guadalajara goalkeeper.

In the end, the referee ended the match and with this Tigres added three points in the Copa Por México to reach four points and also achieved their first victory and had their first goal in this new cycle with Diego Cocca.

The next commitment of the felines will be on Thursday, December 22, against Chivas at the Universitario Stadium.

The first goal of the night courtesy of Jesús Angulo, great goal.
