América Femenil 2-1 Cruz Azul – Off to a flying start in the league | OneFootball

América Femenil starts the tournament on the right foot by defeating Cruz Azul 2-1.

Ángel Villacampa sent out the best lineup he had available.

64′ Out: Montse Saldivar – In: Ana Pedrero.

11′ Goal by Kiana Palacios after an assist from Alexa Soto.

82′ Goal by Scarlett Camberos.

A very positive first half from América, with ball possession and constantly seeking the opponent’s goal.

Cruz Azul had some opportunities through counterattacks, but between the defense and Sandra Paños, the danger was dealt with without much trouble.

The second half was a repeat of the first, with América looking to increase the lead and the opponent waiting for a mistake to try to tie the match.

The second goal came after a penalty, which was very well taken by Scarlett Camberos to seal the match.

A match just as expected for this first round, especially with an América side starting the tournament with a very short squad; in fact, the entire wing, except for the goalkeeper, was made up of players from the Under-19 category.

The next match for Las Águilas will be on Sunday, July 20, against Xolos at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes.
