The Decisive Phase of Apertura 2025 begins

This Wednesday the quarterfinals of the Liga MX Femenil begins, marking the beginning of the most exciting stage of the Apertura 2025 tournament. The technical analysis positions Tigres UANL, Pachuca and the Águilas del América as the squads with the greatest probability of winning the championship, based on their consistent performance throughout the regular phase. These Mexican women’s soccer powers top the list of favorites, but the league is a separate stage where pressure and details define the champion.

The Top 4 of the circuit, completed by Toluca, reaches this stage with the benefit of home field in the second leg, a logistical advantage that can be decisive. However, it would be a mistake to underestimate their immediate rivals: Chivas de Guadalajara, Rayadas de Monterrey, Cruz Azul and the Bravas de Juárez. These teams have the last word and have the talent and determination necessary to upset all the predictions and advance to the semifinals, promising a high-level football battle.

Analysis of Favorites and Candidate Teams

From a technical perspective, Tigres, Pachuca and América are emerging as the most solid teams with the greatest depth in their squads to overcome this complex phase. The Felinas demonstrate a formidable collective game, the Gophers are recognized for their offensive proposal and the azulcremas combine experience with youth in an extraordinary way. However, the nature of the direct knockout introduces variables that can tip the balance.

The potential of teams like Cruz Azul, which has shown a notable evolution, Chivas, with its historic strength, Rayadas, always dangerous, and the Bravas de Juárez, a team that has managed to earn the respect of the competition, cannot be underestimated. Any of these teams has the tactical and emotional capacity to produce a surprise and eliminate a favorite, ensuring that excitement and uncertainty are guaranteed in every minute of the game. The fight for a place in the semifinals of Apertura 2025 promises to be an exhibition of the highest quality and passion that characterizes women’s soccer in Mexico.

David Ospina arrives at Atlante

Atlante confirmed the incorporation of David Ospina, a 37-year-old Colombian goalkeeper, as a significant reinforcement for Apertura 2026. With experience in clubs such as Nice, Arsenal and Napoli, the veteran goalkeeper was enthusiastic about his arrival in Mexico.

“I am happy to be here, I come to give my best. The idea is to get ready as quickly as possible to be at the disposal of the coaching staff. I come to contribute my grain of sand and I am going to give everything for this institution,” he declared upon his arrival at the Mexico City International Airport.

A history of the Colombian team

Ospina is the footballer with the most appearances in Colombian history (131) and has played in three World Cups: Brazil 2014, Russia 2018 and North America 2026. He recognized that playing in Liga MX was a personal aspiration.

“I have Colombian teammates who are here in Mexico and told about the level of the Mexican League. I always had that desire and now that I have this opportunity, I am going to make the most of it,” he said.

Quick negotiations

The goalkeeper revealed that the efforts were agile, even during his World Cup training camp. “I know that Atlante is a team with many young people and a great coaching staff. It is ambitious to have someone like Mr. Miguel Herrera. This possibility arose, conversations arose and it was only about meeting the Escalante family to make this positive decision,” he explained.

With the Iron Colts jersey already in his hands, Ospina committed to at least a year. His arrival represents a coup of authority in the Expansion League market.

Pumas visit hell urgently for points

After losing 0-3 to Pachuca in the debut of Apertura 2026, Esteban Solari’s Pumas face Toluca tonight at the Nemesio Díez Stadium. The appointment is at 10:05 p.m. on FOX One. The Auriazul team arrives under pressure: they have not beaten the Red Devils in their last six duels – four draws and two losses – and their last victory at Toluca’s home dates back to November 2021.

In addition, the match is brought forward to Tuesday because Toluca will play the Champion of Champions on Saturday against Cruz Azul. For university students, winning is almost an obligation to leave behind the ghosts of the lost final in the previous tournament.

Cruz Azul returns to Banorte to defend the title

Cruz Azul, current champion, receives Puebla at 8:00 p.m. on TUDN and ViX Premium. The duel marks the return of La Maquina to the Banorte Stadium, where they will seek to consolidate themselves as a local. Joel Huiqui’s team arrives with confidence after winning the Clausura 2026.

“Our home is Mexico, as a hobby,” acknowledged Huiqui.

The first test at home will be against La Franja, which will try to complicate the celestial path to the two-time championship.
