Match recap: Club América Femenil defeats Tigres Femenil in penalties

It was everything a fan of soccer could want.

In front of a sold-out crowd, the Liga MX Femenil Final was decided in penalties, with Club América Femenil winning their first trophy by defeating Tigres UANL Femenil 3-3 (1-3 pen.) The game got off to a brisk start. Both teams moved the ball well, looking to gain the early advantage. América had the first good chance of the evening just three minutes in when Lucero Cuevas was hauled down from behind by Greta Espinoza. Espinoza saw a yellow card, however Las Águilas couldn’t capitalize as the free kick went over the bar.
