Tigres left it late but they eventually secured a 4-2 win over Alianza on Wednesday night to advance to the quarter-finals of the CONCACAF Champions League.
With the scores locked at 4-4 on aggregate heading into injury time and with Alianza holding the advantage on away goals, it looked like the Mexican outfit were set for a shock exit.

However, goalkeeper Nahuel Guzman had other ideas as he stepped up and emerged as the hero for his side with a dramatic late goal.
As seen in the video below, he rises highest to superbly head home an Edu Vargas free-kick, sparking wild scenes of celebration as Tigres successfully made it through.
There’s nothing like the drama of a goalkeeper going up for a late set-piece trying to score an unlikely goal, and when it does actually happen, it results in scenes like these with Guzman making himself the hero for Tigres…
