América and Cruz Azul Face Off in Liga MX Femenil Clausura 2025 Opener

The Liga MX Femenil Clausura 2025 kicked off with a thrilling match between América and Cruz Azul on Monday, January 6, 2025. The Clásico Joven, held at the Estadio Ciudad de los Deportes in Mexico City, marked the beginning of the new season, with both teams eager to start their campaigns on a high note.

América, one of the strongest teams in the league, finished the Apertura 2024 in third place with 40 points but was eliminated in the semifinals by Tigres UANL. The team is determined to redeem itself and claim the championship this season. On the other hand, Cruz Azul struggled in the previous tournament, ending Apertura 2024 in 12th place with only 20 points, including six wins, two draws, and nine losses.

The match was a crucial opportunity for both teams to showcase their improved gameplay and position themselves as contenders for the Clausura 2025 title. América’s fans were hopeful for a strong start, while Cruz Azul aimed to turn their fortunes around under new leadership.

Cruz Azul’s new coach, who has a notable track record in Uruguay, brought fresh hope to the team. However, the absence of Solange Lemos, a key forward recently signed from Querétaro, was a significant blow. Lemos suffered a mild lateral collateral ligament sprain in her right knee, sidelining her for the match, as reported by journalist Bruno Hernández on X.

Despite the setback, Cruz Azul took an early lead in the first half with a goal from Aerial Chavarin at the 24-minute mark. The match remained intense, with both teams fighting hard to secure a victory in this highly anticipated Clásico Joven.
