Toluca Femenil Beats Chivas with Goals from Henry and Le Sommer in Apertura 2025

A Dominant First Half from the Red Devils

Toluca Femenil proved their impressive start to the season is no coincidence, defeating Guadalajara Femenil 2-1 in a match where Gabriel Velasco’s side controlled the key moments.

The game started with high intensity, and after several chances, the Red Devils took the lead in the 34th minute with a precise header from Amandine Henry. Just before halftime, Eugénie Le Sommer —a star signing and women’s football legend— doubled the lead with another header that ignited the crowd at the Estadio Nemesio Diez.

Chivas Respond but Fall Short

In the second half, Chivas tried to close the gap and found the net in the 66th minute through Casandra Montero, who capitalized on a loose ball in the box. However, Toluca’s defense held firm, backed by a standout performance from their goalkeeper, who made crucial saves to preserve the lead.

Despite offensive substitutions, the Guadalajara side failed to equalize and once again showed struggles in their attacking build-up, adding another defeat that worries their fans.

Toluca Solidifies as a Contender

With this victory, Toluca Femenil not only positions themselves firmly among the top contenders but also shows that their international reinforcements have made a difference. The French duo Le Sommer – Henry has added much-needed experience and quality to a team that looks increasingly solid.

Meanwhile, Chivas will need to make quick adjustments to avoid further complications in the season.
