      didn't know where to put this but was just at one of the best games i've been to.

      Tigres v Cincinnati FC in Monterrey in the CONCACAF equivalent of the champion's league last 16.

      Cincinatti won the first leg 3-0 (away goals are still a thing here). So it feels like a mammoth task.

      Atmosphere in the stadium is incredible. Tigres scored 2 in the first 10 minutes. The last 10 mins before half time, it really feels like a third goal is coming, there are several cleared off the line and Cincinatti are camped in their own box but they make it to half time. Angel Correa, formerly of Atletico Madrid and world cup winner is looking incredible. There's also a hulk of a lad called the buffalo playing up top who scored the first (a uruguayan called Rodrigo Aguirre) and talented mexican lad called Ozziel Herrera playing up along side him who scored the second.

      As soon as the second half starts, Herrera puts one top corner, looked amazing live, replays suggest that the keeper should have done better. 3 minutes later Aguirre scores a scissors kick to make it 4-0 and 4-3 on aggregate. Still 40 mins to go. Tigres start to sit back. Cincinnati have their first time in the game where they string a dozen passes together and first time they get into the Tigres final third. After about 10 mins of pressure, Cincinnati score. They now lead on away goals. Tigres press and press. Cincinnati do their best to time waste. They have shots cleared off the line, they hit the post from a point blank rebound. They win a penalty (and second yellow for the defender) and VAR rules that there was an offside somewhere in the build up. Tigres bring on a 40 year old Gignac (remember him?) and he has a big chance in stoppage time but the keeper saves it. Tigres make a sub in the 94th minute after 2 more in the 87th min, meaning they have 0 defenders on the pitch. Then in the 99th minute, Gignac lays it off to one of the subs who rattles it in the bottom corner. Absolute pandemonium... Beers and limbs flying everywhere
