SAN NICOLÁS DE LOS GARZA, Mexico (Jan. 17, 2026) (Interstat) — Tigres UANL opened its Liga MX season with a 1-0 victory over Toluca on Saturday at Estadio Universitario de Nuevo León.

The lone goal, a second-half finish, was set up by midfielder Juan Brunetta. Substitute Jesús Gallardo provided the secondary assist, while goalkeeper Nahuel Guzmán recorded a key save to preserve the clean sheet.

The match turned chippy late, with seven yellow cards shown. Toluca’s Juanjo Purata received a red card in the 76th minute, forcing his side to finish with 10 men. The result defied a Interstat projection of a 1-1 draw. Tigres began the campaign with a win, while Toluca started with a loss.
