América Rallies To Rise As New Leaders In Liga MX Femenil

In a thrilling encounter on Saturday, March 22, 2025, Las Águilas del América demonstrated resilience by defeating Tigres UANL 2-1 in a match that could determine the trajectory of the Clausura 2015 Femenil tournament. With head coach Ángel Villacampa at the helm, América's victory catapulted them to the top of the standings, while Tigres struggled to maintain their position.

The match began with a flurry of action when Tigres' Thembi Kgatlana opened the scoring in the 15th minute, courtesy of a precise assist from Jacqueline Ovalle. Kgatlana struck with a powerful right-footed shot that found net—sending shockwaves through the crowd.

However, América was quick to respond. Just five minutes later, in the 20th minute, Scarlett Camberos capitalized on a momentary lapse in the Tigres defense, firing a stunning shot to level the game at 1-1. This crucial goal not only boosted America’s morale but also shifted momentum in their favor.

The tension heightened in the second half as both teams pressed for victory. In the 65th minute, Nancy Antonio showcased her skills by netting the winning goal for América. With a deft left-footed shot born of precise positioning in the area, she ensured that the outcome turned in favor of Las Águilas, solidifying their new status at the top of the league standings.

With this victory, América now boasts an impressive record of 11 wins, two draws, and just one loss, amassing a total of 35 points. Their triumph was made even more significant given Pachuca's slip-up against Toluca on Thursday, March 20, 2025, where they lost 3-2, leaving them with 33 points and in second place.

The remaining teams are also feeling the pressure, with Tigres settling into third place. Moreover, the Chivas maintain a fifth-place spot, tied on points with Rayadas. Meanwhile, Bravas are seventh with 22 points, and Cruz Azul closes out the top eight with 19 units.

Notably, the two lowest-performing teams are Santos and Puebla, who each languish at the bottom of the table with only three points each. Adding to the drama, Mazatlán holds the unfortunate title of having the worst defensive record, with a staggering 50 goals against them this season.

As the tournament approaches its conclusion, all eyes will turn toward the next fixtures scheduled for Sunday, March 23, including the anticipated match between Puebla and Santos, as well as the Clásico Tapatío Femenil pitting Chivas against Atlas. And on Monday, March 24, Quertaro will face Pumas while Monterrey hosts Juárez FC.

As Jornada 14 of the Liga MX Femenil wraps up, the stakes are higher than ever. Teams will look to rally for critical points in the concluding games, while fans anticipate more heart-stopping action in the continued battle for the championship.
