Liga Mx Women América unstoppable
Club América remain the only unbeaten side in the entire league, underlining their growing dominance. Against Santos Laguna, the champions showed no mercy, cruising to an emphatic 6–3 victory. The star of the night was Montserrat Saldívar, who struck twice to consolidate her position among the league’s top scorers (9 goals). Although Santos tried to respond, the gap in quality was too wide – América once again confirmed their status as the main title favorite.
Pachuca gaining momentum
Tuzas delivered one of their best performances of the season. Pachuca defeated Atlas 3–1 thanks to goals from Delgadillo, Ihezuo and García. Atlas pulled one back through Huerta, but it wasn’t enough to stop the attacking power of their opponents. The victory lifted Pachuca into third place, showing that the team is gradually finding consistency and sending a clear message that they can seriously challenge for a top-three finish.
Northern derby: Chivas – Monterrey ends in a draw
The clash between Chivas Guadalajara and Monterrey was billed as one of the highlights of the round – and it lived up to expectations. The match ended in a 1–1 draw, with García scoring for Rayadas and Boyi Iturbide replying for Chivas. The result didn’t significantly alter the standings: Monterrey remain fifth (16 points), while Chivas sit eighth. However, the encounter showed that both sides are capable of competing with the league’s best and remain firmly in the playoff race.
Tigres keep the pace
Tigres UANL added another convincing win to their tally, showing that they are gradually returning to their best form. The Monterrey side continue to maintain a high tempo, ensuring América cannot stretch their lead at the top. Supporters have every reason for optimism – Tigres once again look like genuine championship contenders.
Pumas back in contention
For Pumas UNAM, the Matchday 8 victory was crucial – not only in terms of points, but also psychologically. The team climbed to sixth place on 16 points, drawing level with Monterrey. With disciplined defending, growing attacking efficiency and a renewed sense of confidence, Pumas are emerging as one of the season’s true dark horses.
Mazatlán crisis deepens
At the other end of the table, Mazatlán remain unable to turn things around. With just one point and the league’s worst goal difference (–22), the side is firmly rooted to the bottom. A draw against FC Juárez briefly hinted at improvement, but the problems run deep – without clear progress, Mazatlán risk being cut adrift in the survival battle.
Matchday analysis
Elsewhere, Cruz Azul secured a comfortable win over Mazatlán, with Aerial Chavarin once again underlining her role as the team’s attacking leader. Atlas’s defeat to Pachuca saw them slip further down the table, and unless they improve their finishing quickly, their playoff hopes could fade fast. Meanwhile, Tijuana and Santos shared the points in a 1–1 draw – a fair result, though neither side could be fully satisfied.Matchday 8 didn’t change the league leader, but it did highlight the current balance of power. América remain untouchable at the summit, while their main challengers – Pachuca, Monterrey, Tigres and Toluca – are doing everything they can to stay in touch. The playoff zone is getting increasingly congested, with only small margins separating teams, meaning every fixture could prove decisive. At the bottom, the battle for survival is intensifying, with Mazatlán and Juárez desperate for points to avoid being left behind. Liga MX Femenil is now entering a phase where the margin for error is becoming ever smaller.
