Tigre vs Vélez Sarsfield Match Report
Tigre missed out on an ideal opportunity to climb into the Copa Libertadores zone after suffering a 3-1 home defeat to Velez Sarsfield on Thursday.
As well as this, the defeat means Tigre are practically assured of relegation to the Argentine second division next season along with Olimpo de Bahia Blanca.
Velez proved too strong for their opponents, with first half goals from David Ramirez and Augusto Fernandez, but while Diego Morales pulled a goal back for Tigre right before the break, Guillermo Franco restored Velez's advantage midway through the second half.
