Tigres UANL made their dominance count at Estadio Universitario on Saturday, 22 August 2026, seeing off Atlante 2-0 in Liga MX. It was goalless at the break despite the hosts controlling most of the ball, but they kept pushing and eventually found the breakthroughs in the second half. Eighteen shots to Atlante's 11 tells the story of how one-sided the pressure was, even if the visitors matched them shot-for-shot on target with four apiece. Five corners to one summed up how much time Tigres spent camped in the final third. Juan Brunetta was the man pulling the strings all night, picking up the Man of the Match award with an 8.6 rating for his work in tying Atlante's defence in knots. Atlante will feel they competed well enough in patches, especially given how little of the ball they saw, but couldn't turn that into anything at the other end. For Tigres, it's a solid 2-0 win to build on at home.
