MEXICO CITY, Sept. 2 (Xinhua) -- Raymundo Fulgencio scored a first-half brace as reigning champions Tigres UANL romped to a 5-0 home win over Queretaro in Mexico's Liga MX on Saturday.
Fulgencio opened the scoring with an angled finish into the top left corner and he doubled the lead just before half-time by firing home after combining with former France striker Andre-Pierre Gignac.
Gignac went from provider to scorer as he converted a 49th penalty before Juan Pablo Vigon and Nicolas Ibanez added second-half goals to guarantee Tigres their fifth win from seven games this campaign.
The eight-time Liga MX champions lead the 18-team Liga MX Apertura standings with 14 points, edging out second-placed FC Juarez on goal difference. Queretaro are 13th, seven points off the pace.
