Club Atlético Tigre started its participation in the 2026 Sudamericana Cup with a 1-1 draw against Alianza Atlético at the Miguel Grau stadium in Callao. Argentine striker Ignacio Russo scored the first goal for Tigre at 9 minutes, and the goal was validated by the VAR. The Peruvian team reacted and tried to equalize, with a shot by their captain Hernán Lupu that was saved by goalkeeper Felipe Zenobio. In the second half, Tigre pressured with midfielder Elías Cabrera, but his poor aim prevented him from scoring the second goal. Argentine striker Valentín Robaldo came on in the second half and scored the equalizer for Alianza Atlético at 28 minutes of the second half. Joaquín Lasso, Tigre's captain, was sent off for accumulation of yellow cards. The draw leaves both teams with one point in Group A of the Sudamericana. Tigre will face Macará next Thursday, while Alianza Atlético will face América de Cali on April 15. The equality in the score reflects the balance of the game, in which both teams had opportunities to win. Lasso's expulsion may be a key factor in Tigre's next game. The Argentine team must improve its effectiveness in attack to achieve a victory in the next match. The team's performance was marked by moments of intensity and friction between the players. The draw is a fair result, considering the chances created by both teams.
