Las Bravas de Ciudad Juárez displayed their dominance once again with a resounding 4-1 victory over León Femenil during the sixth round of the Liga MX Femenil Clausura 2025 tournament on February 3, 2025. The match, held at the Estadio Olímpico Benito Juárez, showcased the impressive skill and tenacity of the home team, solidifying their reputation as one of the league's formidable contenders.
The Bravas, who entered this match with notable momentum—having accumulated three victories and two draws from their opening five games—were determined to maintain their unbeaten streak. Their solid defense, having conceded only two goals up to this point, set the stage for their continued success against León, who were struggling to find their footing within the league.
City Juárez struck early, with Dayana Martin finding the net just 24 minutes after kickoff. Jasmine Casarez, using her speed and agility, made a dangerous run along the left flank, delivering a precise cross to Martin. Despite facing pressure from two defenders and the goalkeeper, Martin managed to push the ball over the line, giving the Bravas the lead.
León responded effectively, leveling the score at 1-1 thanks to Mayalu Rausch’s well-timed effort. Following a corner kick from the right side, Rausch seized the moment when the ball bounced dangerously inside Juárez’s area, skillfully converting the chance to equalize the match.
After halftime, Juárez returned with renewed vigor and soon regained the lead. A well-executed set-piece around the 60-minute mark led to Jasmine Casarez scoring her first goal of the match, taking advantage of disorganized marking by León's defense to slot the ball home with ease.
Despite the setback, León continued to battle but was unable to find their rhythm. The clock was ticking down when the Bravas struck decisively again. Grace Asantewaa, with sheer determination and blistering pace, broke through León’s backline, netting the third goal for Juárez at the 82-minute mark.
Though things had turned dire for León, they attempted to push forward, attempting to narrow the deficit. Their efforts seemed fruitless as the potent Bravas secured the victory with one more stellar goal. Just before the final whistle, the experienced Liliana Mercado capped off the match by scoring the fourth goal after receiving a beautiful assist from Casarez, effectively sealing León’s fate.
With this victory, the Bravas temporarily climbed to second place on the league table, just behind America, exemplifying their strong form as they continue their impressive run this season. Meanwhile, León faced their third defeat of the 2025 season, which leaves them with only five points and the pressure to recuperate quickly, as they prepare to face Pachuca on February 7, 2025.
The evening concluded with Juárez fans celebrating their team’s prowess and skillful play, reflecting on another successful game. The Bravas have clearly established themselves as not just contenders but potential championship material this season, and many are eager to see how they will fare against upcoming rivals.
