HOUSTON, TEXAS (January 3, 2008) Goalkeepers Pedro Hernandez (Atlas) and Oscar Perez (Tigres) each had three saves and the teams played to a 0-0 tie in the third game of InterLiga 2009.

The two teams started action in Group B play at Robertson Stadium on the campus of the University of Houston in Houston, Texas.

Both teams are 0-0-1, with one point in the team standings.

Atlas outshot Tigres 7-2 in the first half. Atlas' best chance to score came in the 52nd minute when Bruno Marioni's free kick from just right of the semicircle was stopped by a diving Perez.
