Chivas Femenil shuts down the league leader and earns a hard-fought draw at the Gigante de Acero | OneFootball

The collective and defensive work of Chivas Femenil tonight was outstanding. Antonio Contreras’ team delivered a display of solidity as a unit to earn a point against Rayadas on Matchday 13 of the Clausura 2026, reaching 27 points and tightening the race at the top of the table.

It was no small challenge for the Rebaño, who visited the Estadio Monterrey to face the league leaders—still unbeaten and boasting the most powerful attack in the competition. With near-perfect synchronization between lines, like a Swiss watch, the Rojiblancas formed a compact block that managed to neutralize La Pandilla.

With intelligent reading of the game’s moments, collective effort, and quick transitions, Guadalajara grew as the match went on: they withstood the home side’s early pressure and ended up tilting the field in the second half, creating clear chances to even take the win—including a controversial handball inside the box that was not called as a penalty.

In this way, the Rojiblanco side became the first team to keep the league leaders scoreless in the current tournament, also taking a very valuable point in the fight for the top spots in Liga MX Femenil.

Now, Chivas Femenil will have a full week before returning to action on Matchday 14, when they visit Estadio Caliente to face Xolos next Sunday, February 29 at 7:06 PM (Central Mexico Time).
