SAN NICOLÁS DE LOS GARZA, Mexico (Interstat) — Tigres UANL defeated Guadalajara 3-1 on Saturday at Estadio Universitario, surging to its third win in four Liga MX matches.

Guadalajara entered the match on a two-match winning streak, most recently a 1-0 victory at Atlas on Apr. 26. The team had not lost since a 5-0 win over Club Puebla on Apr. 18, though it managed only one goal in its previous three outings.

Tigres had struggled for consistency, going 2-3-1 in its last six league games, including a 1-0 loss to Atlas on Apr. 22 and a 2-1 defeat at Pachuca on Apr. 19. Its most recent win before Saturday was a 5-1 rout of Mazatlán on Apr. 25.

The match also marked the return of several key players from injury for both sides, though neither team disclosed specific lineup changes.
