A crucial home loss for Tijuana

Tijuana, April 2nd - In Matchday 15 of the Liga MX Femenil, Club Tijuana Femenil suffered a 2-0 defeat against Tigres Femenil, putting their playoff hopes at serious risk.

Tijuana entered the match with momentum after their draw against Chivas Femenil, but faced one of the strongest squads in the league.

Goalkeeper decision and balanced first half

One of the key storylines was the decision to start Renata Cota in goal, replacing the injured Ana Paz, while Bárbara del Real remained on the bench.

The match started at a high tempo, with both teams creating chances, although Tigres looked more dangerous. The first half ended scoreless.

Tigres takes control in the second half

The second half quickly shifted momentum. In the 51st minute, Diana Ordóñez scored from a corner kick to give Tigres the lead.

Shortly after, Stephany Mayor added a stunning goal, placing the ball in the top corner to make it 2-0.

No response from Xolas

After conceding, Club Tijuana Femenil attempted to respond but struggled against a well-organized Tigres side.

Players like María Sánchez, Jennifer Hermoso, and Emma Watson helped maintain control and secure the result.

Playoff hopes now uncertain

With this loss, Club Tijuana Femenil now depends on other results to qualify for the playoffs, particularly those involving FC Juárez Femenil, who have a game in hand and a better goal difference.

A final call to the fans

Head coach Fernando Samayoa urged fans to continue supporting the team as the season nears its end.

Xolas will play their final home match on April 24, with free entry, in what could be a decisive game for their playoff hopes.
