América Femenil 1-2 Tigres – Last-minute heartbreak for América | OneFootball

América falls at the last minute to Tigres and forgets about the Apertura 2025 lead.

First half:

América started the match well, trying to quickly find a goal that would allow them to take the lead against a rival that chose to sit back and wait for an Águilas mistake.

19′ Tigres goal – Ordoñez opened the scoring after a double shot, with the first saved by Paños and the second falling to her to make it 1-0.

23′ Paños saves América! – A mistake playing out from the back left Kgatlana one-on-one with the América keeper, but Paños made a great save to rescue the Águilas.

Tigres’ game plan worked to perfection; they ceded possession, pressed in midfield, and capitalized on the first error to open the scoring.

América struggled a lot with balls played in behind the defense; Kgatlana was winning easily with her speed and on three occasions managed to go one-on-one against Sandra Paños.

42′ Montse misses! – Bruna Vilamala left Montse Saldivar all alone in front of goal, but the young América player shot wide.

Second half:

59′ América close! – Kim Rodríguez’s header crashed off the post.

A second half with América even more committed to attack, but once again their lack of finishing was making the match complicated.

71′ AMÉRICA GOAL – Stunning goal by Irene Guerrero from a free kick that surprised the Tigres goalkeeper.

A deserved equalizer for the Águilas in a match they were already completely dominating against a rival that chose to sit back and defend in this second half; a carbon copy of what we saw in the previous match against Rayadas.

75′ Kim’s goal-line save! – Kim Rodríguez blocked a Tigres header with her head that was heading into the net.

77′ Substitutions – Off: Jordan Brewster and Scarlett Camberos – On: Scarlett Camberos and Mariela Ramos.

84′ Substitution – Off: Irene Guerrero – On: Alondra Cabanillas.

América threw everything at it, but Tigres defended with all their players inside the box; it was clear that a draw was a very good result for them.

And when it looked like we’d finish with a draw, Tigres had only their second chance of the half and converted it to take the win.

Without a doubt, the best news from this match was the return of Sarah Luebbert, who came back after five months out; her presence will be key in the playoffs.

América Femenil’s next match will be against Atlas on October 15.
