Tigres (4) 1-0 (3) América Femenil – América suffer fifth final defeat | OneFootball

América Femenil loses another final and now adds its fifth consecutive defeat; this time, they did so after having a three-goal advantage.

Lineups:

Tigres Lineup: Aurora Santiago, Greta Espinoza, Jimena López, Anika Rodríguez, María Sánchez, Alexia Delgado, Sandra Mayor, Jennifer Hermoso, Jheniffer Da Silva, Diana Ordoñez, and Aalliyah Farmer.

América Lineup: Sandra Paños, Kim Rodríguez, Annia Mejía, Jana Gutiérrez, Nicki Hernández, Nancy Antonio, Annie Karich, Irene Guerrero, Scarlett Camberos, Sarah Luebbert, and Kiana Palacios.

Match Report:

Tigres started the match with a much better rhythm, but América managed to match their intensity and were even playing better on the field. However, a mistake by Annie Karich when passing the ball back to Annia Mejía allowed Tigres to open the scoring.

Very disappointing performance from América after conceding the goal to Tigres; instead of getting motivated and pushing forward, they lost possession frequently and several players seemed disconnected from the match, Kiana Palacios among them.

Finally, in the second half, América Femenil remembered they were playing a final and took control of the match with constant attacks on the opposing goal.

And just when the team was playing their best, they shot themselves in the foot again; Nancy Antonio was sent off after a VAR review for a play deemed dangerous, but never worthy of a red card.

What more can we say? This team has lost finals in every possible way, and this was the only way left; you lose your lead after being up by three goals and, on top of that, you’re left with one less player when you were playing your best.

It’s the fifth final they’ve lost in a row: in Apertura 2023 they fell to Tigres, in Clausura 2024 to Rayadas, in Clausura 2025 to Pachuca, and now once again to Tigres.

19′ Goal for Tigres – Diana Ordoñez scored after a one-on-one against Paños.

75′ Out: Sarah Luebbert and Annia Mejía – In: Montse Saldivar and Chidinma Okeke
