Gignac put Tigres 1-0 up

It is at the big tournaments that the great players must appear. André-Pierre Gignac scored again in the Club World Cup semi-final against Copa Libertadores champions Palmeiras.

In the 53rd minute of the match, Luan brought down Carlos González in the box when he tried to control a great pass from Guido Pizarro. No one doubted, the person tasked with hitting it was Gignac and he didn't miss.

The Tigres striker took a slow run and then shot violently near the left-hand post of the goal. Weverton guessed the direction, but it was impossible for him to reach it.

Gignac celebrated it with a smile from ear to ear, the only Tigres goalscorer in the Club World Cup. His two goals helped them to comeback against Ulsan Hyundai and this time he scored to put the Mexicans in front against Palmeiras. Two goals in three matches.
