Late strike lifts Tigres past Nashville, into Concacaf Champions Cup final

Midfielder Juan Brunetta scored a second-half goal Tuesday to lead Tigres UANL to a 1-0 win over Nashville SC and a place in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final.

In a throw-in play, former Atletico Madrid winger Ángel Correa entered the area on the right side and assisted Brunetta, who fired inside the goalkeeper's right post in the 67th minute.

Tigres advanced 2-0 on aggregate and awaits the winner of the semifinal series between Toluca and LAFC, which will be decided on Wednesday at the Nemesio Diez stadium in Toluca.

The Monterrey-based Tigres are aiming for a second Champions Cup title, and first since 2020.

Nashville was playing in the semifinals for the first time after taking down Club America in Mexico City.
