Tigres UANL will host Mazatlán on Saturday, April 25, 2026, with everything still on the line in the last jornada of the Clausura 2026. Guido Pizarro’s team still has not secured a liguilla berth, and only a win against Mazatlán will do.
That makes the visit to the Volcán more than a routine season finale. André-Pierre Gignac could be playing his last home match there if he does not renew with Tigres, adding an edge to a night that already carries playoff consequences.
Tigres will go into the match with some familiar absences and one fresh loss of availability. Marco Farfán was operated on successfully on his right foot in January 2026 after a fracture in the scaphoid bone, and his recovery time is estimated at least three months, with a return expected in early May 2026. Vladimir Lorona will also remain out after a grade 2 muscle tear in his right thigh, an injury that has kept him sidelined since matchday 14 and the Concachampions games against Seattle Sounders.
The final complication came from Fernando Gorriarán, who was booked in the first half and will miss the match against Mazatlán. Tigres had already been through several suspensions during the tournament and had been expected to arrive clean for the final matchday, which is why the booking landed with extra weight.
For Tigres, the math is simple and unforgiving. The result against Mazatlán will decide whether Pizarro’s side finishes the regular season with its place in the postseason secured, while the club also has to confront the possibility that one of its most recognizable figures could walk off the Volcán pitch for the last time as a home player.
