América Women 2-2 Atlas – Eagles lose perfect start | OneFootball

América Femenil drew against Atlas in a match in which they lost their perfect run this season.

This was the starting XI: Celeste Espino, Isa Haas, Kim Rodríguez, Karen Luna, Jana Gutiérrez, Gabriela García, Irene Guerrero, Xcaret Pineda, Scarlett Camberos, Sarah Luebbert, and Geyse Ferreira.

4′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Geyse Ferreira appears to open the scoring and maintain her lead in the scoring title race.

18′ Atlas goal – Karen Flores takes advantage of a series of rebounds in the box to level the score.

A very poor first half from América, with a highly predictable attack against opponents who were well set up in their own box, preventing Las Águilas from finding Geyse Ferreira; besides the goal, they only had one other chance at the feet of Scarlett Camberos, which was saved by the opposing goalkeeper.

57′ Atlas goal – A mistake by Karen Luna allows Sanjuana Muñoz to turn the match around.

63′ Substitutions – On: Priscila da Silva and Aylin Aviléz – Off: Sarah Luebbert and Xcaret Pineda.

69′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Irene Guerrero equalizes for América against Atlas with a shot from outside the box.

78′ Celeste Espino saves América! – The referee decided to award a foul inside the box for an alleged foul by Gabriela García, but Celeste Espino stepped up to save the penalty and preserve the draw.

84′ Substitutions – On: Karina Rodríguez and Nancy Antonio – Off: Scarlett Camberos and Karen Luna.

It was without a doubt América’s weakest performance of the season so far; they did not have the same rhythm of play we had seen in other matches, and to that we must add that Atlas was very smart in its style of play, showing a very solid defense and a good ability to create counterattacks.

Perhaps the final minutes were the best from Las Azulcremas, with several arrivals into the box, but the opposing goalkeeper made as many as three clear saves during that stretch.

América lost their perfect run, but they remain the only unbeaten team in the tournament; América’s next match will be away to León on Monday, September 28.
