In a disappointing performance from the Tigres Femenil, the Amazons suffered a setback in their home opener, losing 2-1 to Tijuana on the opening day of the Liga MX Femenil.
Tigres Femenil won their first home match of the 2025 Clausura, losing to Xolos Femenil at the Estadio Universitario.
Starting their tournament campaign on lopsided feet, the Amazons failed to show any improvement in their game under new coach Pedro Martínez.
In the 30th minute, Greta Espinoza gave her team some slight hope with a powerful header that left the visiting goalkeeper without a chance, making the score 1-0. However, the second half saw a complete reversal of fortunes.
Tijuana’s domination in the second half allowed them to score two goals and turn the match around. First, in the 72nd minute, Kali Trevithick equalized with a well-executed individual effort and an unstoppable long shot for Cecilia Santiago.
In the final moments of the match, Cristina Ferral scored an own goal unintentionally, putting the home team at a disadvantage.
The defeat marks a difficult start for Tigres Femenil, who are eager to improve their performance in the tournament. However, the team still has time to bounce back and show its talent on the field.
The low attendance at the Estadio Universitario reflected the disappointing performance of the 11 Tigres Femenil players this evening in the volcano in the face of this narrow defeat.
There is hope that in the next day this situation can be reversed, and that Pedro Martínez can find more stability on the bench.
