In a thrilling display of dominance, Chivas Femenil triumphed over their local rivals Atlas with a commanding 4-0 victory in the latest edition of the Clásico Tapatío. This match, held at Estadio Jalisco, not only underscored the team’s prowess but also reaffirmed their strong position in Group B of the Women’s League, where they now sit with 12 points as they push for a playoff spot.
From the outset, Chivas Femenil established control, echoing the results of their last 14 encounters against Atlas. The team, managed by Antonio Contreras, demonstrated a return to form reminiscent of their impressive start to the season, quickly taking charge of the match and keeping their opponents on the back foot.
The standout performer of the match was Natalia Mauleón, who played a pivotal role in the victory by providing three assists and earning a penalty that contributed to the scoreline. Her contributions were crucial, particularly in the first half, where she helped set the tone for the Rojiblancas. Alicia Cervantes, affectionately known as 'Licha', added to her reputation as a key player by scoring two goals, further solidifying her status as a formidable force against Atlas.
The scoring opened in the 10th minute when Mauleón intercepted the ball in the attacking half and delivered a precise pass to Jasmine Casarez, who rounded the goalkeeper and slotted the ball into an empty net. Just 25 minutes later, Mauleón was at it again, assisting Denise Castro, who finished expertly at the near post, doubling the lead for Chivas Femenil.
In the second half, the Rojiblancas continued their assault. Alicia Cervantes converted a penalty in the 73rd minute after Mauleón was fouled in the box, marking her first goal of the match. Cervantes then capped off the scoring just three minutes later, finishing off another assist from Mauleón with a shot that hit the post before finding the back of the net.
Despite the scoreline, Atlas had their moments, including a near goal in the 41st minute when Joseline Montoya struck the post. However, Chivas Femenil's defense held firm, ensuring that their rivals could not capitalize on these opportunities. The match concluded with a 4-0 scoreline, a testament to Chivas Femenil's attacking prowess and defensive solidity.
Looking ahead, Chivas Femenil will aim to maintain their momentum as they prepare to face Rayadas next Saturday, September 12, at Estadio AKRON during Matchday 7 of the Apertura 2026. This upcoming match presents another opportunity for the team to solidify their playoff ambitions and continue their strong performance in the league.
