Tigres, the undisputed champions of the Apertura 2022

The Amazons have done it again. The Monterrey team lifted their fifth Liga MX Women’s trophy at the climax of Apertura 2022, after winning 2-0 at home, 3-0 on aggregate, against the Águilas del América.

The most winning team in the history of professional women’s soccer in Mexico, under the command of its technical director Carmelina Moscato, managed to masterfully defeat the capital squad led by Ängel Villacampa.

The Final in their return match repeated the full one of the first leg at the Azteca Stadium, as the Universitario de Nuevo León was filled with fans who supported the feline team at all times to win their eighth Final out of 10 possible.

At minute 21, La Maga did her thing: Lizbeth Ovalle took a shot from her left booty with spin that made the ball spin just as she tried to be saved by the American goalkeeper Itzel González, but it went between her legs, in what it was his fifth goal only in the Liguilla.

With 12 goals in the Ovalle tournament, she also added 71 goals in her career within the Liga MX Femenil.

The tone did not change in additional time and the home team launched an attack on the left flank with the escape of the Nigerian Uchenna Kanu, who served the area where Belén Cruz arrived to splice in the air at 2-0 at 48′.

The rematch of 2018 arrives

In turn, the Tigres managed to get even sportingly from the Eagles for what happened on this same stage in the Final between the two in the Apertura 2018, when after an intense match that ended 3-3, the Americanistas were victorious in the series of definition from the penalty spot by 1-3.

The Amazons, whose board of directors announced two weeks ago the commercial alliance with DC Comics of Warner Bros, for the use of the image of Wonder Woman, looked like heroines for their fans.

With its new League Title, the feline team reaches five championships to its credit that make it the most winning, after being crowned in Clausura 2018, Clausura 2019, Gard1anes 2021 and, now, in Apertura 2022.
