An intense night at the Nemesio Diez

Xolos Femenil suffered a 5–3 defeat against Toluca Femenil at the Estadio Nemesio Diez in a match full of emotions, goals, and constant action in both penalty areas. The final score reflected an open game, but also highlighted Tijuana’s defensive struggles against a very effective Toluca attack.

A difficult start for Tijuana

From the opening minutes, Toluca Femenil showed clear attacking intent. In the 8th minute, Kayla Fernández Harvey opened the scoring with a header, and shortly after, Eugénie Le Sommer doubled the lead, making the task even more challenging for Xolas.

The home side’s dominance translated into constant corner kicks and dangerous approaches, forcing the Tijuana goalkeeper into several key interventions.

Xolos Femenil respond

Despite the tough scenario, Xolos Femenil managed to respond. Jazmín Enrigue Abundis pulled one back with a header, and early in the second half, Dana Sandoval Trejo found the net inside the box to temporarily level the match and restore hope for the visitors.

Later on, Karen Díaz Sánchez also got on the scoresheet, showcasing Tijuana’s offensive potential and determination to stay in the fight.

Le Sommer makes the difference

Toluca found its standout performer in Eugénie Le Sommer. The French forward was decisive with two goals, one from the penalty spot and another from outside the box in the closing minutes, sealing an outstanding performance that tipped the balance in favor of the home side.

Faustine Valérie Robert also added a goal, further strengthening Toluca’s attacking display in the second half.

A result full of lessons

While Xolos Femenil showed character and attacking quality by scoring three goals on the road, defensive lapses and Toluca’s clinical finishing proved decisive in the outcome.

The Tijuana side will need to fine-tune details in its collective play to achieve a better balance between attack and defense, while Toluca Femenil reaffirm their strength at home in the Nemesio Diez.
