In this edition of the final, the Tigers claimed their second Champion of Champions title in the Women’s MX League, tracing a path of consistent performances. The squad, led by head coach Milagros Martínez, managed to outpace the América side under Pedro López, with several top players missing the lineup and giving opportunities for younger talents to shine. The game also featured the debut of Athalie Palomo and Joseline Montoya as U players, signaling a broader commitment to developing depth within the roster. [Goal]
With the aggregate narrative tilting in favor of Tigres, América now faces a tough challenge ahead. The return to University Stadium on the next scheduled date will require Coapa’s squad to overturn the deficit and mount a comeback. The road to the championship remains alive, but the task is formidable as the two teams prepare for a high-stakes rematch. [Goal]
