Andre-Pierre Gignac struck twice as CONCACAF Champions Tigres UANL staged a strong comeback to down Ulsan Hyundai FC 2-1 and book a semi-final clash against SC Palmeiras in the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2020 which kicked off yesterday. The Monterrey-based Tigres will now face Copa Libertadores champions from Brazil on Sunday for a place in the final of the inter-continental tournament. At the shining new FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 venue Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium, the Asian champions Ulsan took the lead through Kim Kee-hee who headed from a corner in the 24th minute before the former French international struck a leveler in the 38th minute, followed by a spot kick just a moment before the half time break (45+5).
