The day the legend of Alicia Cervantes was crowned | OneFootball

Talking about Liga MX Femenil, its growth and evolution, as well as the players who have marked an era in its more than 7 years of existence, means that Alicia Cervantes is always in the conversation. And no one should be surprised that a player with more than a hundred and a half goal shouts is always competing to be one of the most outstanding players in the circuit.

Today is a good day to revisit why Chivas Femenil's historic player has earned her place in this discussion, because on a day like today, but in 2023, 'Licha' became the third player in the history of the category to reach -and surpass- 100 goals in the division.

2023 got off to an unbeatable start for Doña Alicia Cervantes Herrera, who took to the field at the Akron Stadium against Pumas on Day 1 of that year's Clausura, two goals shy of the milestone, with the task of becoming eternal. The first half was not easy for the Rebaño, even though they went into halftime with a 1-0 lead.

But if there is one thing the 'Predator' knows how to do, it is to appear when she is needed, and that is exactly what happened in the second half. At 50' she broke free behind the defense with her characteristic instinct, eluded the goalkeeper and left-footed the ball into the net.

It took her just four more minutes to write her name in golden letters in the Liga MX Femenil, as after receiving the ball outside the area, she unleashed an unassailable right-footed shot that pierced the university net to the ecstasy of the Rojiblanca Nation, who watched their all-time top scorer rise with total authority on the pink circuit. Cervantes, for her part, showed her dorsal to make it clear that her name will never again be forgotten.

As if that wasn't enough, the 'Depredadora' wanted to celebrate in style and scored a hat-trick in the 90th minute, beating the Auriazul goalkeeper at the near post after an excellent pass from the left.

We are sure that we will continue to be thrilled with every one of 'Licha's' goals that are yet to come in Liga MX Femenil, and of course we will celebrate them three times over because they will be with her beloved Chivas Rayadas del Guadalajara.
