Clinical Finishing: Chivas Femenil’s Key to Its AP26 Start | OneFootball

A process is constantly evolving, always looking to improve, grow and surpass itself. Today, Chivas Femenil has achieved exactly that. While the team had already established itself as a solid and disciplined side without the ball, it has now become a lethal force in front of goal.

It has been a dream start to the Apertura 2026 for the Rebaño. The team has maintained its streak of 3 wins in its opening matches of the tournament, something it has accomplished over the last 5 semesters, but with one particularly noteworthy difference: compared with those previous starts, it has never been this effective in front of goal.

Antonio Contreras’ team has already scored 10 goals this semester, doubling its combined tally from the AP24, CL25 and AP25, while tripling the number of goals it scored in its first 3 matches of the CL26.

In fact, this is only the second time Guadalajara has scored at least 3 goals in each of its first 3 matches of a tournament. The only previous occasion came in the CL21, when Chivas drew 3-3 in the Clásico Tapatío before beating Puebla 3-0 and América 4-2.

And there is even more to it: the team's attacking pieces are clicking exceptionally well. Joseline Montoya is currently in the race for the scoring title with 4 goals, just one behind Diana Ordoñez. On top of that, Jasmine Casarez has found the net in each of Chivas' matches, while 'Licha' Cervantes has also opened her scoring account and Denise Castro has joined the list of Rojiblanca goalscorers.

As the Apertura 2026 progresses, Chivas Femenil is showing an increasingly strong understanding between its lines, complemented by a level of efficiency that few teams in the Liga Femenil can match.

If anyone had any doubts, Guadalajara has more than enough tools at its disposal, with a squad full of answers.
