Tigres de Alisca faced Lobos ULMX in the fourth round of the Primera Premier on Saturday evening. The contest finished as a 1:1 draw after 90 minutes of play. It was a result that reflected the cautious nature of both sides.
The home side broke the deadlock in the 73rd minute through J. Gonzalez. And here's the thing, the goal arrived late enough to keep the tension high. Tigres pushed forward, believing they could take all three points. The visitors, however, refused to lie down. The pressure mounted as the clock ticked over.
Lobos ULMX equalised in the 87th minute with a strike from Y. Martinez. To be fair, the response was deserved given the pressure applied. The match ended shortly after.
Tigres controlled the ball with 59 per cent possession and registered 7 shots on target. The visitors were far more efficient with their limited opportunities, scoring from just 2 shots. The home team launched 87 attacks compared to the guests' 74, yet the result remained level. By then, the stats suggested a dominance that did not match the scoreline.
The draw leaves Tigres de Alisca in 5th place with 7 points from 4 games. Lobos ULMX remain rooted to the bottom of the table in 14th position with just 1 point. It stops a losing streak for the visitors after their defeat to Los Cabos United. The gap between the two sides remains substantial. The home side still has room to improve their standing.
Both teams came into this fixture seeking to recover from their previous losses. The hosts had fallen 1:2 to Irapuato in their last outing. This shared point offers a small block of recovery time for both managers.
