ATLETICO DE MADRID MEXICAN TOUR 2008: FIRST GOALS AGAINST TIGRES

ATLETICO DE MADRID continue with their Mexican Tour &
played their third game against the TIGERS. A game that brought
the Spaniards their first goals via JOHN HEITINGA with a header
in the 58th min & via DIEGO FORLAN in the 62th min to put them
0-2 ahead.

However, the tiredness & the constant changes in the team lineup gave
the Mexicans the opportunities to get back & draw the match thanks to
PEREZ in the75th min & VINIEGRA in the 79th min.

Disappointing for the Spaniards to let their opponents fight back & draw,
but good signs of improvements as the team are playing much better.

Tigres 2: Óscar Pérez; Diego Martínez, Hugo Sánchez (m.46, Cerda),
Erik Martínez (m.52, Jiménez), Jonathán de León (m.69, Viniegra);
