Match Report
Tigres UANL edged past Puebla 1-0 at Estadio Universitario, with the game's only goal coming from the penalty spot in a tightly contested Liga MX Apertura clash. Puebla held firm for long stretches and looked capable of frustrating the hosts until a costly moment in the box turned the match.
The breakthrough arrived around the 53rd minute when referees pointed to the spot after a VAR review flagged a handball by a Puebla defender inside the area. Juan Brunetta stepped up and converted calmly to hand Tigres the lead, and despite late pushes from Puebla, the deficit stood until the final whistle.
For Tigres, it's another three points banked on home turf, reinforcing their standing as a tough side to beat at the Universitario. Puebla, meanwhile, will feel hard done by, having largely matched their hosts before a single refereeing decision decided the outcome, leaving them to search for answers as they head into their next fixture.
