Chivas Femenil beats Puebla and will be in the CL25 Playoffs | OneFootball

Chivas Femenil fulfilled its double objective this afternoon: it defeated Puebla 3-0 at the Akron Stadium and guaranteed its presence in the Liguilla of the Clausura 2025, after reaching 29 points in the tournament. This also keeps them in the race for fourth place in the general table, with the end of Matchday 15 still to come.

The Rebaño's dominance on the turf of the Fortaleza Rojiblanca was from start to finish, as Guadalajara generated danger at all times in the Enfranjada area. Even though they were unable to score in the first half, Antonio Contreras' team kept their finger on the pulse of the game and put some ground on the scoreboard, which allowed them to manage the match more comfortably. Another highlight was the debut of Yessenia Guzmán, a Rojiblanca youth player who made her debut with the First Team, replacing Carolina Jaramillo.

After the March FIFA Date in Liga MX Femenil, Guadalajara will visit Pachuca in J16 of the championship, with the Hidalgo Stadium as the venue.

The goals

- The 'Predator' opened the scoring! At 52' and from the penalty spot, Alicia Cervantes crossed a very strong right-footed shot that went into the lower corner of the Puebla goal.- The 'Commander' said "present"! At 66', after a great dribble by 'Viri' Salazar inside the box, Carolina Jaramillo appeared in the sixty-six-yard box to score Guadalajara's second with her left foot.- 'Viri' generated it and scored it! At 80' and after provoking another penalty, Salazar took the penalty in an unbeatable way and put the game away.

Dangerous moments

- At 3', 'Licha' Cervantes headed a shot at the far post against the goalkeeper, but a Puebla player appeared on the line to prevent it from going into the net.- At 15', 'Caro' Jaramillo tried to surprise from distance with a left-footed shot from outside the area, which ended up in the goalkeeper's hands.- Again the 'Comandante'! Once again from long distance, Jaramillo tried to adjust her shot. - At 24' Casandra appeared outside the area and volleyed, but her shot was not well placed.- Now it was 'Viri' who tried her luck at 28' from half distance, after cutting back to the center and releasing a right-footed shot that ended up being pocketed by Machuca.- 'Gaby' was left with nothing! At 33' Valenzuela was left one-on-one in the box after a great assist from 'Licha', he prepared his left foot and looked for the angle, but Machuca's hand sent the ball to the corner.- 'Licha' came close! At 35', a cross from the right reached Cervantes at the near post, and the 'Depredadora' looked for the far post with her combed shot, but missed by centimeters.- What a goal you were going to score, 'Viri'! At 41', a rebound from a corner kick was left in the half-moon for Salazar, who unhesitatingly shot from the air with his left foot and almost put it into the corner.- At 42', 'Gaby' escaped down the left, beat two markers inside the area and released a right-footed shot towards the far post, but was unable to place it far from Machuca's position.- At 56', 'Viri' appeared on the left, controlled a ball over the top and volleyed it, but her shot was just wide of the Puebla goalkeeper.- Jaramillo came up just short of his brace at 68', in a copy of his goal, this time from the right, where Cervantes served him, but Machuca managed to claw the ball away. - At 70' it was the turn of 'Licha', who took a diagonal pass from 'Caro' on the right to put the ball in at the near post, but the goalkeeper's ankle denied him his second of the afternoon.- At 86', 'Montse' had a chance after a great pass from 'Boyi', but the field played a trick on her volley and did not allow her to hit it with the desired force, which helped the goalkeeper to make a save.
