Tigres UANL 5, FC Cincinnati 1

FC Cincinnati suffered heartbreak at Estadio Universitario, conceding a 98th-minute goal that sealed a 5-1 victory for LIGA MX's Tigres UANL, who advanced 5-4 on aggregate.

The Orange & Blue were seconds away from advancing on the away goals rule, after Kévin Denkey’s 65th-minute header added to last week's 3-0 Leg 1 win at TQL Stadium. 

However, Fernando Gorriarán's last-gasp goal secured qualification for Tigres and sent Cincy home empty-handed.
