Carlos Salcedo. Although the team of Tigres came out in the first half with the opportunity to open the scoring with two clear attempts by the Colombian Luis Quiñones and André-Pierre Gignac, although it did not help much.

Maximiliano Araujo made a personal move down the left wing and his shot hit the post, unfortunately for Carlos Salcedo, the ball bounced in it to open the scoring in favor of the away team.

Minutes later, when Tigres was attacking more clearly, Quiñones committed a penalty for knocking down Uruguayan Emanuel Gularte ; Pablo Parra was in charge from the twelve steps to score the second and final goal of the match.

For the second half, Tigres tried again to discount the match but had the misfortune to come across the Paraguayan Antony Silva , under the three sticks. On the other hand, already in the twilight of the game there was a controversial move after the demolition of Guido Pizarro, inside the area.
