The highly anticipated clash between Pachuca and Tigres UANL at Estadio Miguel Hidalgo ended in suspense, with both teams locked in a tense 0-0 draw that leaves playoff hopes hanging in the balance.
Pachuca, riding a five-game unbeaten streak at home, controlled much of the possession and created several promising chances, but Tigres’ disciplined defense held firm. Despite the home side’s attacking duo of Salomón Rondón and John Kennedy—each with nine goals this season—Pachuca couldn’t break the deadlock. Tigres, missing key players like Diego Lainez and André-Pierre Gignac, focused on containment and looked for counterattacking opportunities, but also struggled to find the net.
The draw keeps Tigres in fourth place with points and Pachuca just behind in sixth with, as both teams continue their battle for a direct playoff spot with only two matchdays remaining in the Liga MX Clausura. The result does little to clarify the playoff picture, setting up a dramatic finish to the regular season.
Fans were left on edge as the final whistle blew, knowing that every point counts in the race for Liguilla qualification. With both teams showing resilience but lacking a finishing touch, the question remains: who will seize the advantage in the final stretch?
