What you should know before the Clásico de México Femenil | OneFootball

The most anticipated weekend of the Clausura 2024 has arrived, with the Clásico de México Femenil being played this Sunday at the Estadio Akron! Matchday 11 brings the Chingonas face to face with their fierce rivals, in a match in which both teams arrive in similar conditions.

For the Rebaño Sagrado, it's a chance to move into the runner-up position in the tournament if they get three points, which would also allow them to extend their undefeated streak at home.

How do they look coming into this match?

- Chivas claimed their sixth win of the semester with a 2-0 victory over Mazatlan in the Pearl of the Pacific, thanks to goals from Dana Sandoval and Gabriela Valenzuela. With this result, the Red-and-Whites moved into fourth place in the league standings with 21 points.

- Las Águilas hosted Puebla at their Coapa facilities on the previous matchday and won 4-1. The Blue and Whites are in third place in the standings with 22 points.

What happened last time they met at the Akron Stadium?

- Chivas and Águilas drew 2-2 in the first leg of the AP23 Semifinal. On that occasion, America took a double lead in the first half, but two goals from 'Licha' Cervantes in the second half equalized the score.

- We have to go back to October 2022 to find the last Regular Phase precedent between the Tapatías and the Capitalinas. The 15th date of the AP22 also left a 2-2 draw, with goals by Rubí Soto and 'Cheli' Torres at the end of the match which made the Akron explode.
