Irene Guerrero opened scoring from the penalty spot. Scarlett Camberos added another penalty conversion to double the lead. Sarah Luebbert sealed the rout before the break with her 45th-minute goal. The dominant first half essentially decided the series momentum in América’s favor.
Tigres scored once in the second half at the 63-minute mark to avoid a shutout. But the damage was already done. América controlled 59 percent of possession and 15 total shots. The Eagles looked sharper, faster, and far more dangerous than their opponents.
Why This Result Matters for the Championship
Americans now hold a massive advantage heading into leg two on Sunday, November 23 or Monday, November 24. Tigres must score multiple goals just to force extra time. This puts enormous pressure on Las Amazonas to perform at home.
The two-leg final format means aggregate score determines the champion. América can afford to draw or even lose by one goal. Tigres needs a miracle. They’ve never come back from this kind of deficit in a championship series. Club América has tasted victory once already and possesses serious momentum.
For fans nationwide, this result shocked many. Tigres was favored by many analysts given their six league titles and dominance this decade. But América’s intensity on Thursday proved superior to the predictions. The Eagles earned this advantage through superior execution and hunger.
The Teams’ Championship History and Records
Tigres UANL remains the most successful Liga MX Femenil franchise ever. The squad claimed six national titles spanning 2018 through 2023. They won four consecutive championships from 2020-2023, a record unmatched in Mexican women’s soccer.

|---|---|---|---|
| Tigres UANL | 6 | Apertura 2023 | 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 |
| Club América | 2 | Clausura 2023 | Apertura 2018, Clausura 2023 |
Club América has less championship history but proven it belongs among the elite. The Eagles won their first title in Apertura 2018 and captured their second in Clausura 2023. They’re now seeking their third crown in the Apertura 2025 tournament. A win here elevates them among Mexico’s women’s soccer royalty.
