Returns to contention
Aguirre (international duty) has rejoined group training with Tigres after his participation with Uruguay during the FIFA window, the club announced Thursday.
Analysis: Aguirre should be an option for the remainder of the league campaign as long as he stays healthy, with his return to full team activities putting him back in the mix for Tigres' attacking group. The forward scored a nice goal from outside the box when given the opportunity to play a few minutes at the international level against India, but overall he didn't see a lot of minutes, so he'll likely be fit to regain a starting spot in Liga MX play. His return affects Guillermo Martinez negatively in terms of playing time.
Scores in victory
Aguirre scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and two crosses (one accurate) in Friday's 2-0 victory against Atlante.
Analysis: Aguirre missed a chance in the first half and then redeemed himself with a left-footed shot that beat the goalkeeper in the 79th minute against Potros. It was the striker's second goal in the Apertura 2026 tournament, ranking him second on the team in that aspect behind Juan Francisco Brunetta. Until the UANL side signs another center-forward, the Uruguayan will likely continue to record all or most minutes on the field while the team looks to start a productive streak.
Credited with assist
Aguirre assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Club Necaxa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 82nd minute.
Analysis: Aguirre wasn't having his best performance, but a clever touch inside the box allowed him to assist Angel Correa's equalizer in stoppage time. The striker might return to the XI when Tigres take on Atlas on Wednesday.
