Chivas Femenil show character to earn a point against Rayadas | OneFootball

Chivas Femenil showed the grit and mentality that characterizes them, coming from behind to remain undefeated at AKRON Stadium with a 1-1 draw against Rayadas in Matchday 8 of the 2025 Apertura. With this result, Antonio Contreras' team reached 14 points in the tournament.

Confident in the team's performance in the previous match, the Rojiblanco coach fielded the same starting eleven in an attempt to repeat the feat at Estadio Jalisco. However, very early in the match, the Albiazul team scored a goal, putting Chivas on the back foot.

As has been the case in their matches this semester, the Rebaño Sagrado never gave up: they sought to balance the field as soon as possible and created danger in the opponent's goal, hoping for a draw. As the clock ticked down, the Rojiblanco team, along with changes from the bench, pinned Rayadas back in their own half until they found the equalizer near the end of the match. They could even have snatched victory at the death, but the opposition's defensive work prevented that.

Guadalajara will play at home again this week, when they host Tigres for Matchday 9 of the AP25 on Sunday, August 31, at 11 a.m., at the AKRON Stadium.
