Chivas Femenil Defeats Necaxa and Stays Near the Top of the CL26 | OneFootball

Chivas Femenil successfully navigated their Matchday 7 fixture of the Clausura 2026, defeating Necaxa 0–2 at Estadio Aguascalientes. With the victory, Antonio Contreras’ side reached 19 points in the tournament and remains in the fight for the top spots in the standings.

Facing an opponent sitting very deep, practically camped at the edge of their own box, the Rebaño showed patience in capitalizing on their attacking forays. By stretching the field, the Guadalajara side broke down a tight, scrappy match through a transition down the left flank, from where they maintained control of the game. Once again, an aerial ball proved to be the key for Las Rojiblancas to secure a more comfortable result.

Guadalajara will now turn its attention to a trip to the Red-and-White Capital, where they will face Pumas on Matchday 8 at Estadio Olímpico Universitario.
