Tigres UANL vs Ulsan: Storylines
Surprisingly enough, Tigres will participate in this tournament for the first time. They had plenty of chances to make it to the big party but teams like America and their archrivals Monterrey prevented them from joining the best clubs in the world in prior years.
This will be Ulsan’s second participation in the competition. They already played here in 2012 and curiously, they faced Tigres’ archrivals Monterrey, who beat them 1-3 at that time. They will try to get revenge on another Mexican team, which also share the nickname “Tigers” with the Korean team.
