Tigres face Toluca in Concacaf final, Gignac's farewell

One match, everything on the line

Tonight's Concacaf Champions Cup final against Toluca is the biggest game of your season. Tigres go to the Estadio Nemesio Diez with a continental title at stake and a spot in the next international club tournament waiting for the winner (1).

It's also the final match of André-Pierre Gignac's legendary career with the club. Manager Guido Pizarro confirmed the iconic striker will play his last game for Tigres on this date. A fallen giant in Liga MX, knocked out in the Clausura quarterfinals by Chivas, now has the chance to end an era with silverware and send the talismanic captain out as a champion.

Toluca's rise adds to the tension

Toluca come into this final having climbed the Concacaf club rankings and will host the decisive match at home (2) (3). Tigres still sit atop those same rankings despite their domestic struggles, a reflection of sustained continental form. Concacaf adjusted the kickoff time for the final, so double-check your broadcast details before the match (2). It's a transition moment for your club, and one game defines how this chapter ends.
