Amid controversy and suffering, Tigres retained the lead in the Liga Mx Femenil by defeating a Cruz Azul team 2-0, which showed resistance throughout almost the entire match. The Felines reached 33 points, while the Celestes were left with 14 points and are still out of the league positions after 12 days of the Clausura 2024 tournament.
Cristina Ferral broke the zero at the Volcán stadium until the minute mark by shooting inside the area after a corner kick. The goal came just after Cruz Azul’s starting goalkeeper Alejandría Godínez left the field due to an injury and substitute Jennifer Amaro entered in her place.
Already with the goal, the cats closed the game at 90+3 when Jaqueline Ovalle sent in a cross for Nayeli Rangel to connect with a header.
The light blue team managed to fight almost the entire duel even when they were left with 10 players on the field after Lia Martínez was sent off in the 83rd minute in a controversial manner.
The whistler José Maximiliano Negrete also sparked controversy for disallowing a Tigres goal due to an alleged crowding in addition to the visitors demanding a penalty.
