In the first leg of the Liga MX Apertura final on Thursday
night at Estadio Azteca ended in a draw 1-1.
Earlier, the Tigres hit the post twice in regulation --
including a 25-metre strike by Frenchman Andre-Pierre Gignac -- before the 90
minutes finished without a score.
Gignac played all 120 minutes -- and scored the first goal
of the shootout -- despite being warned it would be risky to play again only
three days after suffering a neck injury.
Club America could not find a way past Guzman in the shootout,
the keeper saving all three shots he faced from the spot after the teams had
finished the two-leg final locked at 2-2 on aggregate.
