MONTERREY, Mexico — River Plate moved into position to claim a third Libertadores Cup title Wednesday when the Argentine side held Tigres to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the final, giving it the edge going into the home fixture in Buenos Aries next week. Tigres pushed forward for a majority of the contest but failed to score at home for the first time in this year's competition and was left kicking itself for not building up any kind of lead to take to the southern hemisphere. “We created opportunities but unfortunately we couldn't put them away,” Tigres midfielder Egidio Arevalo Rios said in a pitchside interview. — Reuters
