Chivas de Guadalajara vs Tigres UANL Match Recap
Tigres UANL struck first in the 36th minute. Diego Lainez set up Juan Brunetta on a counterattack, and Brunetta finished with his left foot from the left side of the penalty area to put the visitors in front.
Brunetta’s night turned in first-half stoppage time. He caught Leonel Calderón with a studs-up challenge on the calf, and referee Fernando Hernandez showed him a straight red card at 45+2′.
Tigres UANL played the entire second half with 10 men. Calderón, the player fouled in the incident, did not return after the break, with Bryan González taking his place, and Ricardo Marín replaced Ángel Sepúlveda in a double change.
The equalizer came from the bench. Jordán Carrillo entered in the 72nd minute and scored five minutes later, finishing with his right foot from the center of the box after Bryan González set him up in the 77th minute.
It was Carrillo’s first goal as a Chivas de Guadalajara player, and it arrived with the hosts pressing for a winner against the 10 men.
The second goal never came. Nahuel Guzmán saved a close-range header in the 83rd minute, and headers from Jesús Hernández and Ricardo Marín missed the target during nine minutes of stoppage time, so the points were shared.

Three Takeaways From Chivas de Guadalajara vs Tigres UANL
1. Brunetta’s Two-Sided Night Shaped the Match
Brunetta’s goal was his seventh of the Apertura 2026, the most of any Tigres UANL player this tournament, and it had the visitors in control of the scoreline.
His red card at 45+2′ changed everything. Tigres UANL defended a one-goal lead with 10 men for the whole second half and still left Guadalajara with a point.
2. The Bench Rescued Chivas de Guadalajara
Both players who combined for the equalizer were substitutes. Bryan González, back in the matchday squad after several weeks out, created the goal off the bench.
Carrillo needed only five minutes on the pitch to score it. His first goal for the club turned a home defeat into a draw.
3. A Point That Helps Tigres UANL More
Chivas de Guadalajara won the corner count 10 to six and produced the late chances, but one goal was all they took from a full half against 10 men.
The draw extends their winless run to four league matches, with a draw against Club America, a home defeat against Queretaro and the Clasico Tapatio draw at Atlas before tonight.
Tigres UANL are unbeaten in three league matches after wins over Puebla and Toluca. They are still winless away from home in the Apertura 2026, but a point at Estadio Akron with 10 men is a result they will take.
What the Result Means
Chivas de Guadalajara sit fourth with 20 points from 12 matches, one point behind Toluca and Atlas on 21 and four behind Club America on 24.
Fourth place is all but sealed for this round. Cruz Azul are the only team who can still pass them, and only by beating FC Juarez by six goals tonight, so they hold a direct Liguilla position with five matches left in the regular season.
The draw is also their first at home in the Apertura 2026, after three wins and two defeats in their first five matches at Estadio Akron.
Tigres UANL are 13th provisionally with 14 points from 12 matches, two points behind eighth-place Santos Laguna and the final Liguilla spot, despite stretching their unbeaten run to three league matches.
Their position can still move this weekend. Sunday’s Monterrey vs Pachuca match closes Jornada 12: a Pachuca draw or win would drop Tigres UANL to 14th, and a Monterrey win would lift the eighth-place line to 17 points.
Tigres UANL are still looking for a first away win of the tournament, but they earned this point the hard way, defending with 10 men for the entire second half.
