Guadalajara, Mexico - Club América Femenil powered past Atlas Femenil with a decisive 3-0 win during Jornada 4 of the Liga MX Femenil on January 21, 2025. Played at the Estadio Jalisco, this match not only strengthened América’s position at the top of the league but also showcased their attacking prowess against their opponents.
The game kicked off with both teams showcasing their intentions to dominate. Initially, Atlas Femenil and Club América were evenly matched, but as the minutes ticked by, América started taking control. At the 21-minute mark, Priscila Flor da Silva scored the opener for América, sending the visiting fans at Estadio Jalisco to their feet. The Brazilian forward, showing great skill, curled the ball past Abdul Solera, the Atlas goalkeeper, putting América 1-0 up.
Following Priscila's goal, América continued to apply pressure. Irene Guerrero then doubled the lead just before halftime, netting her goal at the 38th minute after capitalizing on a defensive error. This goal shifted the momentum firmly in favor of América as they headed to the changing rooms at 2-0.
After halftime, the battle resumed with Atlas trying hard to claw back. They entered the second half with more urgency, but América's defense held strong. Despite their efforts, the hosts could not breach the organized backline of the Águilas. Notícias around the pitch suggested Atlas struggled with both composure and confidence following the two-goal deficit.
Despite their best efforts to respond and create chances, Atlas couldn't convert opportunities, often thwarted by América’s resolute defense. It wasn’t until the 66th minute when Club América extended their lead to 3-0. Montserrat Saldivar, who had been active throughout the match, finished off a swift counter-attack initiated by Sarah Luebbert’s assist. Saldivar’s goal served as the exclamation point on América’s comprehensive performance.
The match concluded without any more goals, leaving Atlas Femenil despondent. This result marked the transition from their brief euphoria of defeating Tigres to the sting of defeat against one of the top teams. "Atlas femenil pasó de la felicidad de ganarle a Tigres a la humillación de caer por goleada de 3-0 ante el América," reported Omar Fares.
This victory kept Club América Femenil not only at the top of the Liga MX Femenil standings but also highlighted their effective combination of tactical awareness and individual skill, pushing them one step closer to title contention.
Club América Femenil’s successful outing against Atlas sets the tone for their next fixture. They will be eager to maintain their form as they prepare to host Club Puebla Femenil on January 26, 2025, where they will again aim to showcase their championship aspirations.
On the other side, Atlas will have to quickly recover as they face off against Club Puebla Femenil themselves, hoping they can turn around their fortunes and regain their form as the competition intensifies this season. The road to success is never easy, but both teams have shown they can compete at the highest levels within the Liga MX Femenil.
