Juan Pablo Vigon’s late goal propelled Tigres to a 2-1 victory over Inter Miami in a Leagues Cup match marked by Lionel Messi’s absence due to injury. Despite missing their star player and Luis Suarez, Miami mounted a spirited challenge, but Vigon’s 84th-minute strike secured the top spot in Group N for the eight-time Liga MX champions.
Tigres drew first blood through a spectacular volley from Juan Brunetta, a goal already being touted as a potential Puskas Award contender. Miami responded in the second half with Leo Campana converting a penalty, setting the stage for Vigon’s dramatic winner.
The unexpected loss means Miami settles for second place in the group and faces a potentially difficult knockout round matchup against reigning CONCACAF Champions Cup winners, Pachuca.
