Tigres UANL begin their quarter-final campaign in the Concacaf Champions Cup tonight by hosting the Seattle Sounders at Estadio Universitario. The Monterrey side, now under the tactical leadership of Guido Pizarro, are looking to build a solid advantage in the first leg to avoid the struggles they went through in the previous round, where they flirted with elimination.
The message for the San Nicolás side is clear: zero margin for error. Tigres are fully aware of the danger posed by the MLS team and, above all, of the importance of keeping a clean sheet so as not to hand any advantage to the away-goals rule. With the "Volcán" at full capacity, Tigres will try to impose their regional pedigree and take a firm step toward the semifinals of the most important tournament in the region.
