Jennifer Hermoso scored this Sunday one of his most beautiful goals in Mexican soccer to give the Tigres UANL an agonizing 1-0 victory over Lion in the Apertura 2024 tournament. In the continuation of the eighth round, Tigres sought the game in their stadium, but lacked forcefulness.
In the 82nd minute, León was left with 10 players on the field after the expulsion of Chilean Fernanda Pinilla, but even then the ‘Amazonas’ were unable to open the scoring. It was in the 100th minute, in the last play of the match, that Hermoso took a left-footed free kick; she placed the ball over the goalkeeper and decided her team’s victory.
Tigres, led by Spaniard Milagros Martínez, maintained a perfect record in six games, but is in second place because it has one game less than Pachuca, which has seven wins in a row.
This Sunday, the Tuzas defeated Mazatlán by 7-0, with three goals from Nigerian Chinwendu Ihezuo, two from Charlyn Corral, one from Alexandra Godínez and another from Kenti Robles. Corral was the only scorer with 11 goals, one more than Jacqueline Ovalle, from Tigres, who scored 0-0 on Sunday.
