América Femenil 6-3 Santos – The Águilas keep their perfect run going | OneFootball

América Femenil secured their eighth consecutive victory of the tournament, in a match that proved more challenging than expected.

First half:

As expected, América Femenil started the match with total dominance, controlling ball possession and consistently creating dangerous situations in the opponent's area.

6′ AMÉRICA GOAL - Goal by Irene Guerrero assisted by Scarlett Camberos.

Despite dominating the match, the team was overdoing the forward passes and often ended plays with mid-range shots that went outside the goal.

28′ Santos Goal - Nabweteme tied the match.

In the first and only play the opponent had in the first half, they managed to tie the match, a surprising goal especially considering that it was the best defense (América) against the third worst offense (Santos).

43′ AMÉRICA GOAL - Scarlett Camberos shoots and a deflection from the defender ends up sending the ball into the goal.

Second half:

55′ AMÉRICA GOAL - Shot by Scarlett Camberos that the goalkeeper deflects into her own goal.

63′ Santos Goal - Ikechukwu scores the second for the opponent. There was an offside, but the referee didn't call it and there's no VAR in the regular phase of Liga MX Femenil.

It's curious that against one of the worst offenses of the championship, América showed something that hadn't been seen throughout the tournament, a defensive fragility. The opponent scored two goals in two shots on goal.

68′ AMÉRICA GOAL - Mid-range shot by Montse Saldivar that ends up in the corner.

70′ AMÉRICA GOAL - Montse Saldivar doubles with a shot over the opposing goalkeeper.

73′ Substitutions - Out: Mariela Ramos and Nancy Antonio - In: Alondra Cabanillas and Carol Acuña.

76′ Santos Goal - Alexa Hernández successfully takes a penalty committed by Annie Karich.

79′ AMÉRICA GOAL - Bruna Vilamala scores the sixth for the Eagles.

83′ Substitutions - Out: Montse Saldivar and Bruna Vilamala - In: Ana Pedrero and Allison García.

Offensively it was what was expected from the team; with a lot of arrival to the opponent's goal and absolute dominance against a defense that had not done badly in the first half.

Scarlett Camberos continues to be the key to unlocking opposing defenses, even though her two goals were counted as own goals, she was the key piece for the American victory.

Beyond the victory, it is worrying how bad the American defense looked against an opponent who had only scored four goals in the remaining seven rounds.

The next match for América Femenil will be this Sunday against Pachuca at the Hidalgo Stadium.
