Tijuana ground out a 1-0 win over León at Estadio Caliente on Saturday, 25 July 2026, in a game that didn't exactly flow but delivered for the home crowd when it mattered. It was goalless at the break, and León actually looked the sharper side for long stretches, racking up ten corners to Tijuana's three and edging the shot count 11-9. But football doesn't always reward the better team on the night, and Tijuana found a way through to snatch the points. Jackson Porozo was the man who made the difference, earning Man of the Match honours with a 7.9 rating for a commanding display at the back that gave Tijuana the platform to hold on. León will feel hard done by given how much of the ball and territory they had, but they couldn't turn pressure into goals. For Tijuana, it's three points that maybe don't reflect the balance of play, but they'll take it.
The Matchup
