Queretaro FC 3:2 Tigres UANL — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Juan Brunetta’s goal and assist could not prevent Tigres UANL from losing 3-2 away to Querétaro in the Primera Division Apertura, a result that leaves the visitors with no immediate fixture to look toward. The home side struck twice inside the opening eighteen minutes through Ali Ávila and Mateo Coronel, with Santiago Homenchenko providing the assist for the latter, before Tigres began their recovery.

Rodrigo Aguirre pulled one back in the 41st minute after Brunetta’s clever lay-off, and the midfielder equalised himself in the 61st minute to level the contest. A VAR check at that point went Tigres’ way, but the drama was not finished, as Homenchenko popped up in the 90th minute to snatch all three points for Querétaro, with a late VAR review confirming the winner. Yellow cards littered the contest, with eight bookings spread across both sides, but no red cards altered the flow.

The statistics tell a lopsided story: Tigres controlled 65% of possession and generated 25 shots to Querétaro’s 15, with an expected goals figure of 2.65 against 1.23, yet they left empty-handed. The away side dominated the second half with 60% possession and an xG of 1.57, but Querétaro’s efficiency in front of goal proved decisive. Brunetta was the standout, earning a nine-out-of-ten rating for his goal and assist from midfield, though it was not enough to rescue his team. CheckLive’s model clearly favoured Tigres and got the result wrong, as the underdogs outplayed the favourites on the day.
