The 1-1 away draw that Atlante earned against Tigres last weekend, does not worry some players from the Nuevo León side.

Forward Francisco Fonseca indicated that the series has not been decided in any teams favor.

"I believe there's nothing for anyone, not even if with the draw they advance, nothing has been decided" Fonseca said.

"There are 90 minutes left to define everything and in a Liguilla where you have to go out and win on every field."

Atlante benefit the most from the result since they ended the regular season in a higher position in the general table and will play the return leg of the series at home.

'Kikin' turned down that the parity has affected the Tigres locker room because they can just as easily go through to the semifinals.

"I don't agree that the result is more positive for them, because with the victory we are on the other side," he stated.

"The team is well, we believe the quarterfinal is still open, and I repeat that we are aware that with the draw they pass, but the atmosphere is good and with the desire to continue."

In the second quarterfinal match on Saturday, Tigres travel to Cancún to face the Potros of Atlante.
