Casandra Montero, strength and leadership for Rojiblanco | OneFootball

Something that has set Chivas Femenil apart in 2025 is its solid defense, which led it to be the best defense in the Clausura tournament, and which in this Apertura already has 7 goals to its credit. This is a reflection of the work of coach Antonio Contreras, who has chosen an unexpected bastion, at the time, in the back: Casandra Montero.

We all remember 'Cas' as a strong defensive midfielder, not only in ball recovery, but also in clear passing and playmaking. However, this calendar year she has adapted perfectly to her new role as a central defender, proving that she is also a versatile player.

With this, Casandra shows us her ability to adapt and her willingness to contribute, whatever position the team needs. In addition, the Veracruz native has established herself as a leader of the group, thanks to her distinctive charisma and resilience, and we hope she continues to build a great history with the Rebaño Sagrado.

Her impressive statistics in this position have not gone unnoticed; she is undoubtedly a guarantee of security in the Rojiblanca defense and will be key to keeping a clean sheet in the next match against Pumas.

Casandra Montero's statistics in AP25- 13 games played- 13 starts- 1,170 minutes played- 2 goals- 163 balls recovered- 48 balls recovered in dispute- 35 balls won in own area- 23 headers in own area- 8 headers in opponent's area- 1 vs 1 defensive effectiveness- 99 clearances- 513 successful passes- 3 goal contributions
