Late Lainez Goal Lifts Tigres Over Pachuca in Liga MX Clash
MONTERREY, Mexico (Interstat) — Substitute Diego Lainez scored the decisive goal in the 78th minute to lift Tigres UANL to a 2-1 victory over Pachuca in a Liga MX match Wednesday at Estadio Hidalgo. Lainez also assisted on Juan Brunetta’s opening goal in the 59th minute. Pachuca’s Kenedy equalized just a minute before Lainez’s winner. The match was marred by discipline, featuring 10 yellow cards and three red cards issued to Marco Farfan, Eduardo Bauermann and Oussama Idrissi. The result defied a pregame projection that favored Tigres but forecast a draw.
