Atlético San Luis vs Tigres UANL: Key Matchup in Liga MX Apertura 2024 Quarterfinals

The highly anticipated quarterfinal matchup between Atlético San Luis and Tigres UANL in the Liga MX Apertura 2024 is set to take place, with the first leg having occurred on Thursday, November 28, 2024. This encounter is part of the Liguilla phase, and it promises to be an exciting clash between two teams with different strengths and recent performances.

Tigres UANL arrive as clear favorites, having never lost to Atlético San Luis in their last 11 meetings. The team from the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León boasts a rich history of success, including five league titles in the last decade, and a squad filled with experienced players such as André-Pierre Gignac and Nahuel Guzmán. Guido Pizarro, Javier Aquino, and Diego Reyes are also key figures who have contributed significantly to the team’s past successes.

In contrast, Atlético San Luis, despite their shorter history in the Liguilla phase, have shown promising results. They qualified for the playoffs as the sixth seed and have a positive record with 5 wins, 4 losses, and 3 draws. Their home form is particularly strong, having won 7 out of 8 matches at the Estadio Alfonso Lastras Domínguez.

The match will be broadcast live on various platforms, including ESPN2, Disney+, and Azteca 7 in Mexico. For viewers in the United States, the game can be watched through services like Fubo, DirecTV Stream, and TUDN.

The teams’ recent performances also highlight their contrasting approaches. Tigres UANL have a deep bench with players like Juan Pablo Vigón, Marcelo Flores, and Diego Lainez, who can significantly impact the game when called upon. Atlético San Luis, on the other hand, relies more on younger players such as Ronaldo Nájera, Iker Moreno, and Benjamín Galdames.

The second leg of the quarterfinals is scheduled for Sunday, December 1, 2024, and will be crucial in determining which team advances to the semifinals of the Apertura 2024 tournament.
