The new Liga Femenil MX has begun for the current champions, as América thrashed Santos Laguna 3-0 at home in the Estadio TSM last night with a rounded performance that leaves them at the top of their group. With just the start of the competition, the American women have had three different scorers, maintaining themselves as one of the teams that will be a contender to win the championship at the end of the last semester with football in Mexico during this 2026. How was the victory of the Eagles? Everything started from the first minutes of the match, as only at 2' of regular time, Alexa Soto took advantage of a defensive rejection that was quite deficient, with which her partner Gabriela García could give the first blue and white assist of the tournament, thus advancing the visiting team led once again by Ángel Villacampa. For the second goal, the same Gabriela García made her presence known in the scoreboard, as in a corner kick, the Venezuelan stood up inside the small area to head a precise shot that beat the goalkeeper Kathya Mendonza at minute 34, all within the first half in which the Eagles already had a two-goal advantage. Without making any changes at halftime, the two teams arrived at the second half, in which América seemed that it could not do more damage, as it was until minute 72 when Geyse Da Silva carried the ball from the left to the center, outside the area, where he lifted his face and shot a strong shot that gave the final numbers to the scoreboard. This score has left the blue and whites as the leaders of Group B, in which they surpass by a difference of one goal to Chivas, who defeated Querétaro 3-1. What comes next for both teams? For the second round of the Apertura 2026 tournament already under this new format, América will play for the first time as a local in the Banorte Stadium and will face Cruz Azul, while Santos will now be a visitor, but will face the rival of the first date for Chivas, Querétaro. In the third round, the Eagles will also be locals, but will face Puebla, which will coincidentally be the first rival of their group, remembering that this time the crosses will be given in a different way.
