Guadalajara (Mexico), May 23 (EFE) .- Chivas del Guadalajara were proclaimed champions of the Clausura 2022 tournament of the Mexican Women’s Soccer League on Monday by beating Tuzas del Pachuca in the final series 4-3.

Despite losing 1-0 to Pachuca in the second leg on Monday, Guadalajara’s 2-4 win in the first leg was enough for Chivas to win the second title in their history.

Pachuca’s scorer was Lizbeth Angeles.

Guadalajara’s first championship was in the inaugural competition of the Women’s League in the 2017 Apertura, a tournament in which they also beat Pachuca in the final.

In the first half, the Gophers pressed and put the local against their field during the first 10 minutes.

Guadalajara shook off dominance. At minute 9, Joseline Montoya surprised with a shot to vote early that she required the reflexes of goalkeeper Esthefanny Barreras to send the ball to a corner kick.

At 14 the pressure from Chivas was maintained. Montoya took the ball to the right, cut past two defenders, and fired a left-footed shot at the far post, but the goalkeeper deflected it.

Las Tuzas regained offensive control at minute 27, creating danger with a long stroke that Mónica Ocampo initially gave way to the entry of Charlyn Corral, who shot to the side of the goal.

The insistence was maintained by Viridiana Salazar, she slipped in from the right and without a mark she shot powerfully, the goalkeeper bounced off a corner kick.

In the second half, Argentina’s Ruth Bravo had a greater role in the center of the Tuzas field, distributing services to Corral and Ocampo’s breakaways.

At minute 60, Pachuca found the reward for their insistence with a powerful shot by Lizbeth Ángeles from three quarters of the field that hit the right post for 0-1.

The visitor had the goal to send the game to extra time in a penalty that goalkeeper Blanca Félix committed against Corral at 67. Charlyn charged it mid-height to the right of Félix, who saved.

After the failure, the Gophers lost depth and the locals managed to manage the last minutes without further damage to their goal.

Guatemalan Leslie Ramírez de Chivas, also of Mexican nationality, who did not play, became the second foreigner to be champion in the Mexican League. The first was the Costa Rican Valeria del Campo de las Rayadas de Monterrey at the Apertura 2021 in December.

Now, the Chivas will face the Rayadas starting this Friday in the Champion of Champions series to define the best women’s team of the 2021-2022 season. EFE
