Tigres played UNAM Pumas in Monterrey Nuevo Leon Mexico and the game was transmitted live from Telefutura [A US Latin TV Station]. The action and the tension was palpable since Tigres needed a victory in order to avoid relegation in Group Three of the Mexican League and Pumas needed a victory to advance in Group One of the Mexican League.

The First Half began uneventfully with both teams attempting to obtain possession

Of the ball and the game. There was impatience within the stadium and within those who were watching the games on their television sets. Pumas had two opportunities to score a goal without success. The first attempt, the kicker for Pumas did not measure the distance between where to kick and where to land the ball. The result was that the ball was kicked and flew over the net. The second attempt by Pumas resulted in the ball landing on the frame and then deflecting towards the outside of the ball. The first half ended uneventful without goals and glory.

The Second Half was beginning in the same vein with the Tigres gradually gaining confidence and attempting to goal a few times. The only result was that the Pumas were able to block the attempts to goal until about seventy minutes within the game. At Seventy Minutes, Gaston Fernandez alias La Gata scored the first goal for the game and Tigres. The Tigres drew blood and started devouring the Pumas in the game. The Tigres strengthened their defence while the Pumas were receiving surprise. At Seventy Nine Minutes, Blas Perez scored the second goal for Tigres with the rest of the game being an attempt by Pumas to recover lost ground without success. It was all over as the Tigres had the Pumas for supper and dessert.

The Tigres were able to save themselves from relegation by obtaining fifteen points in the Group Three Classification of the Mexican League [Liga Mexicana in Mexico] while the Pumas stayed dormant in the Group One Classification of the same league. If the Tigres want to remain in the classification, they cannot rest on their laurels for one minute especially in a tight race that has become the Mexican League. Pumas will have to tighten their belt as well. It remains to be seen as the Mexican League draws to a close at the end of spring.
