In the most recent quarter-final matchup, it has been determined who will be the rival of the Pachuca Tuzas in the semi-finals of the Liga MX Femenil. The expectations are high, as this duel will not only decide the last semi-finalist, but it will also revive one of the most intense rivalries in Mexican football.
In the first leg, the Rayadas, led by Costa Rican Amelia Valverde, managed to draw at home against Tigres UANL, leaving everything for the return match scheduled for Monday, April 28 at 8:00 PM at the BBVA Stadium in Guadalupe, Nuevo León.
The aggregate score is 1-1 after the intense match played at the Universitario Stadium. Rayadas have the advantage in the standings, thanks to their better position on the table, and they would only need a draw to advance to the semi-finals. On the other hand, Tigres Femenil needs a victory to move forward in the competition.
Among the standout players in the first matchup were Christina Burkenroad for Rayadas and Jacqueline Ovalle for Tigres, who were responsible for scoring the goals. The injury of Spanish World Cup player Jenni Hermoso deprived Tigres of one of their key players.
The schedule for the semi-finals of the Liga MX Femenil involves the Chivas of Guadalajara, who defeated Pumas UNAM and qualified to face the Águilas del América. Additionally, the rival for Pachuca in the semi-finals is yet to be determined, with matches scheduled for May 1 and 4.
