UNAM Pumas vs. Tigres UANL: Date, Live Stream for 2015 Liga MX Apertura Final

Christopher SimpsonDec 12, 2015

UNAM Pumas will have the odds firmly stacked against them on Sunday, when they seek to overturn a 3-0 deficit in the second leg of the Liga MX Apertura final at home against Tigres UANL.

Goals from Andre-Pierre Gignac, Javier Aquino and Rafael Sobis gave Tigres a commanding lead on Thursday in a dominant performance, so to keep their hopes of an eighth title alive, Pumas will need to respond with a similar showing and win by three goals just to force extra time.

Here's the viewing information you need, followed by a look at whether the Pumas can do the unthinkable and mount an incredible comeback.

Preview

After being so comprehensively dismantled in the first leg, it doesn't look good for the Pumas.

They were unfortunate to concede a penalty in the 14th minute in the first legduly dispatched by Gignac for his 17th goal in 20 games—but rather than be spurred on by a sense of injustice, they simply capitulated.

Tigres were 2-0 up after half an hour as they poured forward. Aquino curled the second into the top corner with a lovely strike. ESPN's Tom Marshall highlighted their dominance:

Sobis completed the scoring with a rebound in the second half, but the scoreline could have been even higher.

ESPN's Cesar Hernandez shared a telling stat as the Pumas players struggled to get near the ball or keep it for significant periods of time:

To have a chance of mounting a historic comeback, the Pumas will need to change that.

Not only will they have to keep out the likes of Gignac, Aquino, Sobis and the marauding Jurgen Damm—a potent and dynamic attacking quartet—they'll need to score at least three times themselves.

That will undoubtedly prove difficult, as the Tigres have now kept clean sheets in four successive games and are unbeaten in their last 11 outings.

Tireless defensive midfielder Guido Pizarro is crucial to the Tigres' defensive solidity, per Hernandez:

ESPN FC's Nayib Moran suggested that Pizarro and midfield partner Jesus Duenas are experts in "recovery and distribution" and "were key contributors for Tigres to take a comfortable 3-0 lead."

If the pair can replicate their performance on Sunday, there will be little chance for the Pumas to get the goals they need.

Expect the Tigres to maintain a comfortable advantage over the Pumas as they seek to control proceedings before threatening them on the counter—and ultimately, expect them to celebrate their fourth Liga MX title.
