2019 Liga MX Femenil Final match recap: Monterrey 1, Tigres UANL 0 (2-1 aggregate)

A thrilling end to the Liga MX Femenil season as Monterrey gets a goal from Diana Evangelista and defeats their cross-town rivals to lift their first trophy.

Monterrey got out on the front foot, largely controlling possession and looking to send balls down the right wing toward Diana Evangelista in hopes of getting her in space one-on-one with left back Selene Cortés. Tigres were able to get a little bit of possession, but Monterrey was sound defensively early on. Tigres had a decent chance in the tenth minute when Claudia Lozoya was able to punch a corner kick out only as far as Katty Martínez, but her turning attempt at a shot was off balance and was easily cleared.
