🟥 Las Rojiblancas Take All Three Points on the Road
Querétaro, Mexico – July 19, 2025 — In a tense, hard-fought battle at Estadio La Corregidora, Chivas Femenil came away with a vital 1-0 victory against Querétaro Femenil, thanks to a well-taken penalty by Alicia Cervantes in the 81st minute.
Led by head coach Antonio Spinelli, the visitors absorbed the Gallos' pressure and capitalized on a key moment to maintain their momentum at the top of the standings.
⚽ Balanced First Half Ends Scoreless
The first half was a chess match, with both sides producing dangerous moments but lacking the finishing touch. Querétaro’s Victoria Cecena and Chivas' Esbeydi Salazar were active in attack, but both goalkeepers delivered strong saves.
Frequent offside calls stifled attacking play, and the match remained goalless despite high intensity. Guadalajara’s best first-half chance came from a collective build-up that ended with a shot from Daniela Carrandi narrowly missing the target.
🔥 Alicia Cervantes Seals the Win from the Spot
In the second half, tactical adjustments and substitutions brought new life to the match. After a foul in the area on Gabriela Valenzuela, the referee pointed to the spot.
Alicia Cervantes stepped up in the 81st minute and confidently converted the penalty, giving Chivas the lead. Querétaro launched a desperate late push, but Guadalajara’s defense stayed solid, and Blanca Félix came up with a crucial save in stoppage time.
