Chinwendu Ihezuo leads Pachuca’s comeback to the final

An epic feat in Mexican women's soccer that left the stadium in suspense.

The drama that shocked women’s football

The air smelled of tragedy for the Tuzas when Christina Burkenroad, with the coldness of a murderer in the night, scored the first goal for Rayadas in the 20th minute. The stadium, a cauldron of emotions, seemed to lean towards Monterrey’s two-time championship. But no one counted on the unleashed fury of Chinwendu Ihezuo, the Nigerian who would write her name in gold letters in the history of the women’s Liga MX.

The rebirth of the Gophers

At minute 31, like lightning in the middle of the storm, Ihezuo appeared to equalize the score. Ten minutes later, Kenti Robles, with a shot that seemed to come out of a dream, made it 2-1. But this was only the prelude to the true masterpiece. At 63 and 70 minutes, the Nigerian striker, possessed by the thirst for glory, scored two more goals, sealing a 4-1 that left the rival in the abyss and a 4-2 overall.

United States advances to the round of 16 after beating Bosnia

The United States wins 2-0 despite playing with ten men for half an hour.

Agonizing victory with one less man

The United States team secured its place in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup by beating Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-0 at the San Francisco Bay Stadium. The high-intensity match left moments of tension and an expulsion that marked the development.

The first goal came just before halftime. Folarin Balogun took advantage of a deviation in the Bosnian defense and made it 1-0 in the 45th minute. However, the advantage was complicated in the second half: Balogun himself received a direct red card in the 64th minute after a strong tackle that injured defender Tarik Muharemovic.

Despite playing with ten, the local team resisted and sealed the victory in the 82nd minute. Malik Tillman executed a spectacular free kick with his right foot to make it 2-0.

With this result, the United States will face Belgium next Monday, July 6 at Seattle Stadium. Balogun’s expulsion could have consequences for that match, although the team showed the ability to overcome adversity.
