UANL Tigres and Puebla battle for three points in the 2024 Leagues Cup on Wednesday (July 31) at the Shell Energy Stadium in Texas.
This will be UANL's first game of the tournament. They are coming off a comfortable 3-0 victory at Santos Laguna in Liga MX last week. All three goals came in the second half. Andre-Pierre Gignac broke the deadlock just past the hour-mark before Ozziel Herrera and Nicolas Ibanez scored late on to confirm the victory.
Puebla, meanwhile, began their Leagues Cup campaign with a 2-0 defeat to defending champions Inter Miami over the weekend. Matias Roja and Luis Suarez scored in either half to inspire a Messi-less Miami to victory.
