Chivas Femenil draw with Pachuca and remain near the top of CL26 | OneFootball

Chivas Femenil faced a highly demanding match against Pachuca on Sunday morning at Estadio Jalisco in their Clausura 2026 Matchday 12 clash, finishing in a 1-1 draw, though they were seriously affected by the call of a non-existent penalty that resulted in the visitors’ equalizer. With this result, the team coached by Antonio Contreras sits in third place in the standings with 26 points.

From the opening minutes, the match was tightly contested in midfield. The Rojiblancas managed to control possession in several stretches of the game, until Jasmine Casarez broke the deadlock after getting behind the defense. However, the referee awarded a penalty after Gabriela Valenzuela clearly cleared the ball with a header inside the box, which allowed the visitors to level the score.

The remainder of the match remained highly competitive and demanding for the Rebaño. The Rojiblancas showed character and organization to neutralize the opponent’s attacking attempts while looking to create danger through transitions.

Guadalajara will look to make a statement in their upcoming visit against Rayadas, as they aim to seize the top spot in CL26 this Friday in the Matchday 13 clash.
