The match was finely poised after a first half which saw Elias Hernandez open the scoring for Tigres in the 14th minute and Miguel Sabah equalize seven minutes later.

But the host pulled away after the break thanks to goals from half-time substitute Edno Cunha (57), Lucas Lobos (68) and Damian Alvarez (75).

The result put Tigres two points clear of Santos Laguna, who go to Toluca on Sunday, and Morelia.
