Tigres were a steamroller. On Puebla's visit to the Estadio Universitario in Nuevo León, the felines resumed their Liga MX campaign with a 7-0 rout at the start of the fourth matchday.

Despite the strain of playing the Leagues Cup at the same time, a tournament in which they advanced to the quarterfinals after nearly two weeks in the United States, the UANL team put forth their best performance to reach the top of the 2025 Apertura with their third victory, despite having a pending commitment.

The goals of the match were scored by Ozziel Herrera (6), Diego Lainez (36), the Argentines Juan Brunetta (51) and Ángel Correa (55), the young Diego Alexander Sánchez (72) and the Frenchman André-Pierre Gignac (90+3, penalty), who left behind his absence due to injury and reappeared in the Volcán . An own goal by Nicolás Díaz (58) rounded out the score.

The Puebla team, second to last with three losses, finished with a man down after Ariel Gamarra was sent off for a second yellow card.

Mexican soccer activity will continue this Saturday with the matches América-Querétaro (7:00 PM), Mazatlán-Tijuana (9:00 PM), and Atlas-Pachuca (9:05 PM).
