Versatility and tireless effort: Damaris Godínez's strengths | OneFootball

A ticket to the 2025 Apertura playoffs is just around the corner for Chivas Femenil, who, if they defeat Puebla this Sunday at AKRON Stadium, will confirm their 11th consecutive Final Phase in the women's circuit. This will not be an easy game for the Guadalajara team, as they know that all their rivals play differently against the Rebaño, and the Enfranjadas will be no exception.

In addition to qualifying for the playoffs, Antonio Contreras' team is one goal away from equaling their record for clean sheets in CL25, and Damaris Godínez's work will be crucial in achieving this. Throughout the semester, Guadalajara's number 3 has adapted spectacularly to a new role, moving from a lateral position to form a strong partnership in central defense alongside Casandra Montero.

We know about 'Dama's' unstoppable determination, never giving up on a single ball and fighting for every last centimeter to save any play. It is fair to say that Godínez has become a versatile defender, quickly learning the behaviors and movements of her new position, even helping the Rebaño build their current streak of five straight wins.

But her contribution does not end on the back line, as it is well known that Damaris is a constant threat offensively on set pieces, as in the match against Pumas, where she had four clear scoring opportunities that were denied by the university's defense.

In the six years she has been defending the Rojiblanca jersey, Damaris Godínez has become a true icon for Chivas Femenil, becoming one of the few players to have played more than 200 games for the club. Beyond the numbers, the Chiva Nation has a special affection for 'Dama', and this Sunday will be a special occasion to pay attention to her performance.
