Cruz Azul extended its negative streak in the current Apertura 2023 tournament of the Liga Mx Femenil after losing 1-0 to León, yesterday in a match corresponding to matchday 12 played in La Noria.
With this result, the cement team, which had two consecutive defeats, remained out of the league zone by placing tenth in the general table, with 16 points.
Meanwhile, the La Fiera squad, which had two wins, accumulated 21 points and established itself in the top eight, remaining in the sixth place.
Despite being a visitor, the emerald team took control of the ball from the beginning and constantly stalked the opposing area; However, the light blue goalkeeper Maricruz González reacted in a timely manner and was able to contain her multiple attacks.
For its part, the local squad had few approaches to the rival goal, as it could not overcome the strong defense of the León club.
In this way, both teams went to half-time with the score tied at zero.
In the second half, the game continued with the same tone. The visitors showed greater offensive power with shots from Daniela Calderón and Yashira Barrientos, but the lack of forcefulness in the last touch prevented them from opening the scoreboard.
Greater Emerald Momentum
The emeralds’ momentum finally paid off in the 77th minute, when María Souza connected a service from her teammate Vidalia Abarca in the area to send the ball into the back of the net and make it 1-0.
In the remaining minutes, the emerald team continued to insist with some dangerous approaches, but were unable to increase their advantage.
The light blue coach Cecilia Cabrera recognized that as long as her team does not trust its soccer and we only play it in moments, we will not be able to achieve the goal; However, she trusted that her team will be able to take advantage of their upcoming home games.
