What do América Femenil need to clinch the Apertura 2025 title? | OneFootball

This coming Sunday, the final showdown between América Femenil and Tigres will take place to determine the champions of the Apertura 2025.

The first leg went from being an absolute celebration for the América fans to leaving many doubts and reviving the 'ghosts' that have been present in almost all the finals for the blue-and-creams.

The team gave Tigres a complete lesson for most of the match, especially in the first half where they were leading 3-0, but it could have easily been a greater advantage due to the constant attacks on goal.

But in the end, Tigres, as the experienced team they are, were smart and took advantage of América continuing to attack despite having that lead, and little by little managed to close the gap on the scoreboard, eventually tying and even having the chance to win it in the final minutes.

There are many doubts about which version of América we will see in the second leg; the one that dominated the game or the one that shrank and almost lost the three-goal advantage.

A similar situation was experienced in the Apertura 2018.

An interesting point is that this situation has been experienced before and against the same team; in the final of the Apertura 2018, they faced Tigres with the first leg at home, winning the match 2-0 but Tigres managed to tie the game and take the result to the Volcán.

The second leg ended in a 1-1 draw and the eagles were crowned after winning on penalties. Will history repeat itself?

What does América need to become champions?

The tie in the overall score left nothing for anyone, as in these instances the tiebreaker criteria are extra time and penalties.

América needs a victory to win the championship; any draw would send the game to extra time and, if necessary, to penalties to determine the winners of this trophy.
