MEXICO CITY (AP) — Midfielder Oziel Herrera scores in the first half; UANL Tigress broke seattle sounders 2-0 in Thursday’s first leg CONCACAF Champions Cup Quarterfinal series.
Herrera put the home team ahead in the 51st minute, before centre-back Jackson Regen scored an own goal in the 76th minute.
The second leg will be played in Seattle next Wednesday. The winner will face either Nashville or Club America in one of the semifinals.
Tigres defeated FC Cincinnati 5-4 on aggregate in the Round of 16, achieving a come-from-behind victory to advance to the standings. The Sounders advanced to the quarterfinals with a 5-1 aggregate victory over 2025 runner-up Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
Tigres could have taken the lead towards the end of the first half, but former Atlético Madrid player Angel Correa missed a penalty that went over the crossbar.
