Cruzeiro hit Araguari for 21 in historic Mineiro Feminino opener | OneFootball

The Cruzeiro Women's team began their journey in the Campeonato Mineiro with an overwhelming victory. On Saturday afternoon, at Arena Gregorão in Contagem, the celestial team thrashed Araguari by 21 to 0, in a demonstration of absolute superiority from the first minutes.

The standout player of the match was Letícia, who scored six goals. Gaby and Pri Back each scored three times, while Gaby Soares, Monse, and Byanca scored two goals. Letícia Alves, Sochor, and Ambrózio also left their marks, completing the historic rout.

From the initial whistle, the Cabulosas imposed high pressure, stifling the opponent's ball exit and exploiting all defensive weaknesses. With constant intensity throughout the 90 minutes, Araguari could hardly react to the star-studded offensive avalanche.
