Telemundo Airs FUTBOL ESTELAR: LEON VS TIGRES Today

Deportes Telemundo presents Club León's home field debut in the Liga MX 2015 Torneo Apertura against the U.A.N.L. Tigres today, January 17 at 9PM/8C/6PT. Narrating the Week 2 matchup will be award-winning sportscaster Andrés Cantor, assisted by the experienced voice of Sammy Sadovnik and the unique insights of three-time top Mexican scorer Carlos Hermosillo.

León is determined to show its fans it is ready to improve on last season's performance. New coach Juan Antonio Pizzi has restructured the team's defensive lineup to balance Gustavo Matosas reliance on offense and added one new player, defender Ignacio Canuto from Argentina. León lost to América 3-1 in Week 1 of the Torneo Clausura, but has lost only one of its last 8 games against Tigres.

Ricardo Ferreti's players will have to work hard to match their second-place win last season after losing their first home game by one goal to Atlas. The Tigres are one of the teams with the highest turnover in the league and has already made 11 changes to its lineup this season. Prominent additions include Brazilian forward Rafael Sóbis, from Fluminense; Enrique Esqueda, on loan from Atlas; and the return of Jonathan Espericueta, fresh from a stint with Spain's Villarreal "B." In 28 visits to León, Tigres have gone home the winner only four times.
