Los Cabos United and Tigres de Alicia met in the second round of the Primera Premier on Saturday, with the visitors taking all three points in a 1:2 result. The defeat keeps Los Cabos winless after two games, while Tigres remain unbeaten at the top of their section.
It was a familiar pattern for both sides. Los Cabos had looked vulnerable in their opening defeat to Irapuato, conceding late. Tigres, meanwhile, carried confidence from their 3:1 victory over Zacatec 1948 the previous evening.
The table tells the story clearly enough. Los Cabos sit thirteenth with no points from two outings, while Tigres occupy fourth place with a full six points and a goal difference that reflects their double-digit scoring.
What stands out is the contrast in form. Tigres have won both matches they have played this season, including a 2:0 victory over Los Cabos back in April. The hosts have yet to find their rhythm.
Two defeats from two does not make for a comfortable position. Los Cabos will need to respond quickly if they want to avoid sliding further down. Tigres, by then, will be looking to build on momentum.
