The opening phase established the home side's edge. Tigres UANL took the first period 1-0, before Vancouver Whitecaps FC answered with a 0-1 score in the next period. That swing left the match level at 1-1 and supplied the opening highlights of a contest that changed direction without producing a lasting lead.
Extra time brought another scoreless section, recorded as 0-0. With no separation in that phase, the Leagues Cup tie went to penalties. The shootout finished 5-4 to Tigres, giving the match its 6-5 set score. The score stats capture the chronology: 1-0, 0-1 and 0-0 across the playing periods, then 5-4 from the spot.
That is the central summary of the result: one goal each across regulation, a 0-0 extra-time period and a 5-4 shootout margin. The final scoreline was settled by penalties rather than another goal, giving Tigres the win and leaving Vancouver beaten after the tie had remained level beyond normal time.
