Campeón de Campeones match recap: Chivas defeats Monterrey in penalties

Chivas may be having the best week ever. A week after winning their second ever Liga MX Femenil championship, they downed Rayadas in Monterrey in the Campeón de Campeones, making them the undisputed champions of women’s soccer in México.

While Monterrey had the home field advantage and ostensibly fresher legs, Chivas were the ones who came out of the gate with the better form. While not great, Chivas were able to repeatedly push into the Rayadas end although weren’t able to get anything on goal. Monterrey didn’t make their first foray into the Chivas end until the ninth minute, and even then Desirée Monsiváis’ header went well wide of its intended target.
