Tigres 1-0 Nashville SC (2-0 agg): Correa stars to secure Champions Cup final spot

Tigres booked their place in the Champions Cup final with a 2-0 aggregate win over Nashville SC.

The Mexican side replicated their 1-0 win in the first leg at Estadio Universitario on Tuesday, with Angel Correa assisting Juan Brunetta for the winner in the 68th minute in a game of few chances.

Cesar Araujo squandered an early opportunity for Tigres, missing the target with a header from within the six-yard box, while Hany Mukhtar failed to test Nahuel Guzman with a strike from distance.

The only shot on target in the first half came from Marcelo Flores in stoppage time, but he failed to get any power on a poked effort, which was easily caught by Brian Schwake.

Tigres then broke the deadlock with the first attempt after the break. Correa dribbled past two defenders before laying the ball off to Brunetta, who took a touch to compose himself before firing in at the near post.

Nashville were only able to create two half-chances in their pursuit of a comeback, but the MLS side fell short as Tigres will now prepare for the showpiece on May 30.
