América Women 5-3 Spirit – América, Concacaf W champions | OneFootball

América were crowned champions of the Concacaf W Champions Cup.

América’s lineup: Itzel Velasco, Isa Haas, Kim Rodríguez, Karina Rodríguez, Mariela Ramos, Nancy Antonio, Gabriela García, Aylin Aviléz, Scarlett Camberos, Montse Saldivar, and Geyse Ferreira.

Spirit started the match better, controlling possession and constantly looking to threaten Las Águilas’ goal; América, meanwhile, tried to win back possession so they could impose their style of play.

21′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Aylin Aviléz opened the scoring after an assist from Scarlett Camberos.

26′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Geyse Ferreira scored Las Águilas’ second.

29′ Spirit goal – A very long-range strike from Cantore beat Itzel Velasco.

A very smart first half from Las Águilas against a team that had not conceded a single goal in the entire tournament; the only thing we can criticize is Itzel Velasco’s mistake, as the goal she allowed came from very far out and from a narrow angle.

46′ Spirit goal – The second half had barely begun when the opponents equalized.

A very poor start for América in this second half; they allowed Spirit to find the equalizer very quickly, and Spirit then dominated completely for several minutes.

58′ Spirit goal – Kouassi scored with a shot where América’s goalkeeper was again partly at fault.

59′ Substitutions – On: Sarah Luebbert, Irene Guerrero, and Karen Luna – Off: Aylin Aviléz, Montse Saldivar, and Karina Rodríguez.

Ángel Villacampa took far too long to make changes; the entire second half had been dominated by Spirit, and substitutions were badly needed.

60′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Geyse Ferreira pressed the goalkeeper while she was playing out from the back and ended up winning the ball to tie the match.

66′ Penalty not given to América – A shot from Scarlett after a diagonal run by Sarah Luebbert was headed toward goal, but the opponent’s arm got in the way and prevented the score. There is no VAR, so it could not be reviewed.

74′ Double chance for América! – A shot from Nancy Antonio from outside the box was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, and from the corner kick, a header from Gabriela García went just over the bar.

79′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Irene Guerrero restored América’s lead after a great assist from Scarlett Camberos.

90′ Substitution – On: Chidinma Okeke – Off: Nancy Antonio.

95′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Scarlett Camberos put the game away after an assist from Geyse Ferreira.

América Femenil made history by winning the first Concacaf W Champions Cup trophy for a Mexican team, and they also secured qualification for FIFA international tournaments.
