Match Report:

América started the match with a great rhythm, pressing in every corner of the field and taking possession of the ball; the opponent focused on sitting back, waiting for a counterattack to open the score.

The constant pressure from América paid off when in the 16th minute, the opponents decided to play out from a goal kick, the azulcremas recovered the ball and in that play, there was a handball by the Tigres defense, which was called as a penalty.

Just a few minutes later, the pressure worked again; they stole the ball during the exit and right there another penalty was called for a kick on Sarah Luebbert. Scarlett Camberos converted it into a goal.

A perfect first half by the azulcremas, with constant attacks on the rival's goal and solid defense.

In the second half, Tigres tried to push forward, but this did not prevent the azulcremas from continuing to dominate the match with constant attacks on the rival's goal.

The first dangerous play by the opponent came after an error by Annia Mejía in the exit, leaving Ordoñez alone in front of Paños, but the América goalkeeper made a great save.

After this, the opponent was motivated and closed the gap with a goal by Mayor; it was a key moment for the eagles as they had to avoid the return of those final ghosts.

América had several chances they didn't capitalize on, and with one that Kgatlana had, she made an individual play and scored the 3-2 for the opponent.

They couldn't recover from the blow of the second goal, they sat back, and Tigres took advantage to tie the match.

It's inexplicable what happens to this team in finals, when they finally achieve a significant lead that seems it could be definitive, they collapse in the second half and let the match be tied; it leaves many doubts about what we will see at the volcano, with this mentality, nothing will be achieved.
