CA Tigre 1:2 Nacional de Montevideo — Informe del Partido

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystINFORME DEL PARTIDO

Gonzalo Martinez earned the man-of-the-match rating of 7.6 as Tigre fell to a 2-1 defeat against Club Nacional de Fútbol in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana playoff round. The visitors struck twice inside the opening half-hour to seize control of the tie.

Maximiliano Gómez opened the scoring for Club Nacional de Fútbol in the 11th minute, and Maximiliano Silvera doubled the lead on 31 minutes from Tomas Veron Lupi's assist, with a VAR check early in the second half confirming no further punishment for the away side. Tigre rallied late, pulling one back through Santiago López in the 82nd minute after a pass from Nahuel Banegas, but could not find an equaliser.

The statistics told a tale of control without reward for the winners: Club Nacional de Fútbol had 63% possession and six corners to Tigre's two, yet the home side created the better chances overall with 0.93 xG to 0.78 and outshot their opponents 9-7; the second half was particularly one-sided in Tigre's favour on xG (0.72 to 0.04) and shots (5-2), but they lacked the finishing to turn dominance into a result. Midfielder Martinez was the standout performer for Tigre, earning a 7.6 rating without a goal or assist, simply for his tireless work in the centre of the park. There is no scheduled next fixture for either side in the competition.
