Against all odds, Las Fieras beat Tigres 2-0, a pity that for those led by Adrián Martínez it looks like it won’t be enough to get into the league.
But beyond the theme of the big party, the triumph of the emeralds meant one of the big surprises of the Apertura 2022, knocking out one of the favorites to win the title and completely drying up the best attack in the championship, which from elsewhere It has in its ranks, the American Mia Fishel, who is about to win the title of individual scorer.

León had two great figures in this shock in the 16th, his goalkeeper Ángeles Martínez, impassable, especially in the first half, but also the Argentine midfielder Mariana Larroquette, author of the pair of goals on the ground two of La Esmeralda, scenario that on this occasion had to host the verdiblancas due to maintenance problems in the grass of the Camp Nou stadium.
At 63′ from playing time, the Albiceleste team did not hesitate, pulled the trigger from afar and the ball made a two-way carom, first on the crossbar then behind the back by Cecilia Santiago.
The two goals would end up being a carbon copy and it is that seven minutes later the pampera tried his luck from the edges and now he put the sticky round to the left post, far from the reach of Santiago and whose flight has simply and simply made Larroquette’s target more conspicuous, in this way she reached five goals in the tournament and scored her first double in the Liga MX Femenil.
The thing about Tigers was not believable because the students of the Canadian Carmelina Moscato had enough chances even to have thought of taking the three units out of the “den”. But on this occasion, the university students were not going to score a goal or the rainbow since Martínez’s goal was wide closed, especially Stephany Mayor, who missed at least three, one of those who took off the opposing goalkeeper at the start, but throwing his shot to the side.
The visit spared nothing, he launched his entire attacking arsenal, but the beautiful goal of the other matches was conspicuous by his absence. León recovered well and completed only their second victory over the Tigres in 15 games. The problem for ‘El Grande’ Martínez and company is that with 18 points and one game pending against Puebla, they depend on what Atlas, Toluca and Pumas stop doing. Tigers, however, is already on the other side.
