It seemed like Jesús "Churpias" Moreno was going to have a dream debut with America after opening the score on the 68 before Tigres in their own turf.

But in soccer things generally will not go as expected and Tigres reacted five minutes later, returning the favor and then scoring three more times and coach Ricardo "Tuca" got 400 victories in the Liga MX.

Argentinean Damián Álvarez tied the score on the 70, and Juninho got the second goal for the locals just four minutes later.

America tried to regroup, but French André-Pierre Gignac scored the third time, and Sobis sealed the victory on the 84.

Tigres ended the game with 14 points, and America ended with 13.
