Liga MX Femenil: Where we left off?

MEXICO CITY, MEXICO - MARCH 24: Karen Luna of America battles for possession with Gabriela Valenzuela, Damaris Godinez and Michelle Gonzalez of Chivas during the 11th round match between America and Chivas as part of the Torneo Clausura 2023 Liga MX Femenil at Azteca Stadium on March 24, 2023 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Before the international FIFA break, week 10 was left unfinished with the Clásico Nacional between Club América and Chivas de Guadalajara match suspended due to Guadalajara’s unrest.

So the league resumed with that game that was billed as a true rivalry, one of the biggest in women’s soccer. Elsewhere in the league, Monterrey is leading the league in points, teams keep falling victim to bad refereeing, Mazatlán keeps attracting the attention of the league, and much more. Bragging rights and three points While the rivalry between Tigres and Rayadas has lost some steam with the passing seasons, the one between América and Chivas is pretty much alive.

Those two teams were supposed to play each other in week 9, but the unrest in the city of Guadalajara forced the league to postpone it. Nonetheless, it was played right after the international break and what seemed to be a party on the enemy territory for América soon became a nightmare. After América scored two goals through Geyse and Nancy Antonio and it seemed as if the Eagles were going to earn three points.

However, if there’s something coach Antonio Contreras is known for: how to sub players that will make an impact on the game. That’s how Denise Castro brought Chivas in the game again after being subbed in. Then, an own goal (Sandra Paños) after Carolina Jaramillo’s powerful shot and Adriana “Boyi” Iturbide’s tally turned the tables in the host’s favor.
