The breakthrough came in the 67th minute from a throw-in move, when former Atlético Madrid winger Ángel Correa broke into the box on the right side and set up Brunetta, who finished with a shot inside the goalkeeper’s right post.
With the victory, Tigres advanced 2-0 on aggregate and secured their place in the final.
