The Azteca Stadium was screaming loudly thanks to the 12,000 fans who turned out for one of the most important games of the season. With the presence of La Monumental and groups that traveled from Monterrey to support the felines, what was seen on the field did not disappoint and left us one of those games that are hardly forgotten.
The first half was high intensity. Both sets had arrival, they pressed and sought to surprise. The heroine of the moment was Renata Masciarelli, who had saves as a world goalkeeper, making things very difficult for the visitors. He was clear about what was at stake and he behaved accordingly.
The Amazons had control of the ball during long stretches and the arrivals were more and more constant. And in a magical play between Lizbeth Ovalle, who gave a precise pass, and María Sánchez, who pierced the goal, the lock that America had cared for so much was removed. The auriazules found what they were looking for so much. But the locals were not going to lower their arms.
It was already the last gasp, the compensation time. And in a corner kick, the former feline and now captain of the azulcremas, Karen Luna, sentenced the game with an accurate header. I do not hesitate for a single second to celebrate, since although it was against his former team, what he did was important: give him a draw that helps his team a lot and snatch a mark of more points in a tournament from the super leaders. Not everyone can boast of that.
There were seconds left and Tigres went with everything to the front. And they had it, there, on the line. But neither the post, nor Renata, nor Farías allowed the cats to take home the triumph. And so, with exhausted and cramped players, they all ended up holding their heads high knowing they gave their best.
