Mazatlán ended its Liga MX campaign in painful fashion, suffering a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Tigres at the Estadio Universitario on the final matchday of the Clausura 2026 regular season.
From the first half, Tigres’ dominance was evident thanks to the clinical finishing of Juan Brunetta, who opened the scoring in the 15th minute.

The match also carried special emotion due to the tribute and farewell from the fans to André-Pierre Gignac, who left to a standing ovation in his final regular-season match at “El Volcán.”
The second half was a true nightmare for the visitors, as Tigres picked up the pace and put the game to bed within minutes. Ángel Correa doubled the lead in the 58th minute, followed shortly after by Brunetta’s second goal of the night in the 63rd.
Although Gabriel López managed to score a consolation goal for Mazatlán in the 78th minute, the response from the Monterrey side was ruthless, with goals from Diego Sánchez and Ozziel Herrera sealing the final five-goal rout.

With this result, Tigres secured direct qualification to the Liguilla with this show of strength, while the team from the Pearl of the Pacific will have to undergo a deep restructuring ahead of next year to avoid once again being a stepping stone for title contenders.
