Tigre clinches Copa Sudamericana last‑16 berth with 2‑0 victory over Alianza Atlético

Argentine side Tigre advanced to the round of 16 in the Copa Sudamericana after a 2‑0 win against Peru's Alianza Atlético in Victoria. The goals came from Jabe Saralegui and a subsequent strike, giving Tigre the second qualifying spot. During the match, midfielder Diego Dabove suffered a head injury after a collision, prompting a substitution. The result also ensured that Colombian club América de Cali's 0‑0 draw was sufficient for their own progression. Tigre will meet Uruguay's Nacional in the upcoming playoff round.

The match was played under cold conditions with a passionate home crowd, and Tigre managed to control the game despite early setbacks and injuries.
