0:00 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Andre-Pierre Gignac, Tigres striker:

“Every match is different. We faced an opponent that… to tell you the truth… very good. The (South) Koreans played a great match. I thought we would be playing against short people but they are big, strong (smiles). They have a good ball control. The match was decided on setpieces. For both sides. We are happy tonight, but we have to rest now because another opponent, another type of opponent is ahead of us.”

0:39 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Andre-Pierre Gignac, Tigres striker:

“The matches are the way they are. There’s no easy opponent. We are at a club world cup. We ended up winning tonight and that’s the most important thing, our goal. We know that we can make history and we want to make history. We will rest now because we will have another tough opponent.”
