Tigres thrash and outclass Chivas at El Volcán!

San Nicolás de los Garza, MX – Tigres roared back into the Liga MX Clausura 2026 title conversation on Saturday night, dismantling league-leading Chivas 4-1 at a raucous Estadio Universitario. The emphatic victory not only snapped the visitors’ momentum at the summit but also vaulted the felines to 20 points and provisional sixth place in the race for a Liguilla berth.

Juan Brunetta ignited the onslaught in the 16th minute, steering home the opener to send the sell-out crowd into early rapture. Chivas, momentarily stunned, replied nine minutes later through Daniel Aguirre’s spectacular volley that leveled the scoreboard and hinted at a genuine contest.

The illusion was short-lived. Rodrigo Aguirre restored order for the hosts in the 40th minute, climbing above the defense to head past a helpless “Tala” Rangel and send Tigres into the interval with a deserved 2-1 advantage.

Any hopes of a Guadalajara resurgence evaporated moments after the restart. Ángel Correa, thriving under Pizarro’s high-tempo blueprint, buried a third to effectively seal the result. Brunetta then punctuated the rout, racing clear on a lethal counter before slotting his second of the night and completing the 4-1 scoreline.

The comprehensive win extends Tigres’ unbeaten streak at El Volcán and injects fresh belief into a squad eyeing postseason redemption. Chivas, meanwhile, must regroup quickly after absorbing one of their heaviest defeats of the campaign.
