The goals of Gignac and Florian Thauvin in the Classic Regio

The joy of knowing the winner of the Classic Regio stayed inside and around the University Stadium. The biggest football party in the state of Nuevo Leon favored the Tigers of the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon (UANL) thanks to a couple of excellent entries by the representatives of the French delegation in San Nicolás de los Garza. When it seemed that the match ended without goals, André-Pierre Gignac and Florian Thauvin made their throats resound.

Since the beginning of the party, the actions reflected the broad parity between the two institutions. El Piojo Herrera and Víctor Manuel Vucetich sent their best men to the pitch to search for the units of the day. However, none of the 22 players were able to break equality in the scoreboard during the first 45 minutes.

For the second half, the presence of the university fans, as well as the Libres and Lokos bar in the stands of the Volcano, injected encouragement into the local players. The arrivals began to be more constant and the lag led by César Montes and Sebastián Vegas began to open gaps that were well used by the local offensive. However, Esteban Andrada was instrumental in maintaining the goalless draw.

It wasn't until the 69th minute that the vocal cords of the fans moved. The driver of the euphoric cry was André-Pierre Gignac, who scored again in the contest and approached a record imposed in the history of the Regio Classic. The Rayados tried to come out with a play built from the bottom, but before reaching the midfield they lost the ball to pressure from the Tigers.

After connecting five touches of the ball, Luis Quiñones received him in the half moon of the area amid the bewilderment of the behind. The confusion allowed André-Pierre Gignac to find a space on the side of the rectangle, where the Colombian's pass reached him. Without even having settled the ball, the gunner struck with his right leg and took advantage of Andrada's poor location to stick his shot to the side of the post.

The fans adorned the Frenchman's career with euphoric cries. The gesture of emotion on the face of the scorer also translated into his 10th target in the matches between Tigres and Rayados. Although Gignac was already the top scorer of the UANL in that rivalry, he was one score away from matching Mario Souza Mota, better known as Bahia, who is the top net breaker with 11 lollipops.
