MEXICO CITY (AP) --- Midfielder Ozziel Herrera scored a first-half goal and the
UANL Tigres defeated the Seattle Sounders 2-0 on Thursday in the first leg of
their CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinal series.
Herrera put the home side ahead in the 51st minute before center back Jackson
Ragen scored an own goal in the 76th minute.
The second leg will be played next Wednesday in Seattle. The winner will face
either Nashville or Club America in one of the semifinals.
Tigres advanced after staging a comeback victory, winning 5-4 on aggregate
against FC Cincinnati in the Round of 16. The Sounders progressed to the
quarterfinals with a 5-1 aggregate victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the
runner-up in 2025.
Tigres could have taken the lead toward the end of the first half, but former
Atletico Madrid player Angel Correa missed a penalty, sending it over the
crossbar.
