Tigres UANL will face Los Angeles at the BMO Stadium on Tuesday in the final round of the 2025 Leagues Cup group stages. The Mexican side have performed brightly on the regional stage in recent days and are one positive result away from clinching a spot in the quarterfinals as they sit atop the Liga MX standings with six points from an obtainable six.
They breezed past Houston Dynamo in their tournament opener last week, winning 4-1, featuring a brace from Angel Correa. They then beat San Diego 2-1 in their second group outing, with Correa once again coming up trumps for Tigres as the former Atletico Madrid man netted a double.
Los Angeles faced Mazatlan in their opening game, playing out a 1-1 draw in regulation time before going on to lose on penalties. They found themselves on the right side of the result in game two as they drew 1-1 with Pachuca before winning the contest on penalties.
The Black and Gold sit 12th in the MLS table with three points and must win their game on Tuesday if they are to retain any hopes of advancing to the knockout stages.
