The first 90 of the 180 minutes of this great series between Tigres and Rayadas have already gone. The first of the two chapters has already been written and ended with a score of two goals to two for each side. A tie that will leave expectations and that will be defined next Monday at the Volcano. But first, let’s review what happened on Friday night at the BBVA Stadium.
After a long wait and huge lines to access a property that attracted more than 30 thousand fans who were given the task of attending and supporting their respective team in this contest, the game began and very faithful to their style, both Tigres like Rayadas started with everything the first minutes of the match.
The first goal of the night would fall in an unorthodox way, because after a wonderful play by Rayadas orchestrated by Diana Evangelista, Cristina Ferral fails to cut the ball and ends up putting it in her own goal, thus giving Rayadas the advantage at the minute eleven of the game.
However, the feline response would come a few minutes later, as Greta Espinoza, La Dama de Hierro, would appear to put the tie on the scoreboard.
It should also be noted that it was a very physical match with too many aggressions allowed thanks to the poor refereeing performance that again leaves us a lot to be desired. Well, there was no control of it during the match and that led to several very tough actions on players like Diana García and Christina Burkenroad. Not to mention the tough action of Stephany Mayor who indisputably should have been expelled from the match.
Before the break, Lizette Rodriguez would score the third goal of the game and the second for Rayadas, who would go into the break with the lead on the scoreboard.
Things changed for the second half, as Tigres Femenil continued searching and as the saying goes: “who seeks, finds” and so it happened with the felines who managed to tie the score again through Stephany Mayor who scored a goal with a dedication included for his ex-partner Alison González who suffered from a severe injury.
Thus, and after several dangerous plays for both squads. The whistle sounded for the last time at BBVA and this indicated that Tigres and Rayadas would remain tied and that everything would be defined at the University.
After such a meeting, it would be a real sin for any fan of women’s soccer not to witness the last 90 minutes that will define the monarch of the Apertura 2021. Las Rayadas live and live more than ever. Will the second of Rayadas come through Eva Espejo ? Or will Roberto Medina’s team win a historic three-time championship that would reaffirm their status as the best team in the league? We’ll find out this next Monday at eight o’clock at the University Stadium.
