Juarez City.- On a historic night for Juárez women’s soccer, the Bravas of FC Juárez fell 3-1 to América this Friday night in their first match in a Liguilla of the Liga MX Femenil, a duel corresponding to the first leg of the quarterfinals. of Closing 2023.
Despite the result, at the Benito Juárez Olympic Stadium the fans responded with jubilation and the FC Juárez women’s team had the unconditional support of more than 11,000 spectators in the stands.
The history of Bravas in the Liguilla began turbulent, because following 10 minutes they were already facing adversity on the scoreboard.
An inattention due to lack of communication in a free kick play opened the scoring for the visit. Allison González took the free kick under the wall, the shot had no force, but the border defense might not deflect or stop the ball and it slipped into the back of the goal.
Bravas’ nervousness in his first final phase was palpable and although he connected a few passes in midfield, he might not create danger in the rival goal.
América seemed calm and comfortable on the field and that made him notice on the scoreboard with a second goal.
Kiana Palacios finished off inside the area with her right leg and made it 2-0 for the visit at minute 40.
In the second half, the Bravas found a small reward for trying.
Captain Andrea ‘La Chata’ Hernández gave the Bravas a light of hope and joy to the fans with her goal at minute 73. Hernández fired a cross from the box that goalkeeper Itzel González rejected, but the ball fell back to ‘La Chata’ and on this occasion he did not miss the opportunity in the counter-shot.
Bravas’ good spirits and optimism ended at minute 92, when Jocelyn Orejel finished off on the edge of the area to send the ball into the local goal and thus put the final 3-1.
The return match will be played next Monday at the Azteca Stadium starting at 5:00 pm, in a match in which Bravas must win by a difference of three goals if he wants to advance to the semifinals of the tournament.
