The América Femenil “survived” Guadalajara… just barely
Ah, football. That sport where 90 minutes (plus another five given by the VAR gods) can be summarized in: “Did that really just happen?”. The Águilas, in an act that mixed luck and audacity, left Guadalajara with a 2-2 draw that tasted like a victory, thanks to a goal from Nancy Antonio in the 95th minute. Yes, just when the clocks were already saving the stopwatches.
The controversial penalty (or how the VAR became Chivas’ favorite villain)
Imagine the scene: Casandra Montero, defending as if her arms were magnets for balls, commits a penalty for handball. The referee, after reviewing the VAR (because of course, why trust your own eyes?), points out the penalty spot. Exaggerated? Fair? Social networks are already on fire, but the truth is that America did not forgive the little gift.
And speaking of gifts, Kinberly Guzmán decided that marking Montserrat Saldívar was optional. Result: a left-footed shot to the crossbar that left the Chivas wondering if someone had explained to them about “defense”.
Alicia Cervantes: the woman who does not need an invitation to score
While América celebrated their great goal, Alicia Cervantes, the scorer who seems to have a doctorate in breaking nets, said: “Hold my beer.” With 162 goals on his resume (yes, you read that right), Licha scored a double: one from a free kick (because who needs a wall?) and another from a penalty (thank you, Karina Rodríguez, for the favor). Moral? Never underestimate a forward that has more goals than some teams.
On Sunday, at the Ciudad de los Deportes stadium, the Águilas can tie and pass (yes, life is unfair, but those are the rules). Meanwhile, Chivas are left wondering if their team went on vacation at the worst time.
Who will reach the final? América has an advantage, but in football, as in memes, everything can change in seconds. Don’t miss the next chapter of this sports soap opera!
