Tigre claimed a 3-1 win at Racing Club in the Superliga, building their victory on an early burst of goals. Gonzalo Martinez put Tigre ahead in the 19th minute and Martín Garay doubled the lead seven minutes later. Racing were left with a mountain to climb before half-time.
Tigre added a third in the 51st minute when Ignacio Russo finished, with Gonzalo Martinez providing the assist. Duván Vergara reduced the deficit for Racing in the 65th minute from Matías Kranevitter's pass, but the hosts could not build on that response. The game was effectively settled by then.
The statistics showed Racing's frustration: they had 55% possession but did not manage a single shot, while Tigre had three attempts in total and took the chances that mattered. Tigre's expected goals were just 0.10, yet their finishing was clinical. Kranevitter, booked in the 23rd minute, later set up Racing's consolation.
