Mandatory Credit: Alan Poizner-Imagn Images Angel Correa scored a long-range goal in the first half as Tigres UANL earned a 1-0 road win over Nashville SC on Tuesday in the first leg of a CONCACAF Champions Cup semifinal series.
The second leg of the two-match, total-goal series is scheduled for May 5 in San Nicolas de los Garza, Mexico.
In the 33rd minute, Correa received the ball just above the top of Nashville’s 18-yard box, popped it into the air with his right foot, then fired a left-footed volley into the bottom left corner of the net.
Nashville goalkeeper Brian Schwake made a diving attempt to stop the shot, and he got a hand on it but couldn’t keep the ball out.
Schwake wound up making six saves on the night, while Tigres goalie Nahuel Guzman turned away four shots. The visitors recorded a 13-11 edge in overall shots.
The second semifinal series begins Wednesday when Toluca FC visit Los Angeles FC.
