This Wednesday, March 2, 2022, another chapter was written between the historic friction between the teams of the Liga MX Femenil and the NWSL, because for the second time, the Houston Dash visited Mexican lands to face a team from the maximum professional women’s soccer circuit. .
In this case, the team in question was Pumas, which, under the command of Karina Baez, is currently not going through its best moment in the league. Meanwhile, the Houston Dash has been in preseason since February ahead of the Challenge Cup that will be played prior to the NWSL regular season in the summer.
The Dash team, which was training at the Club América facilities, arrived with a positive balance against the league teams, as this was the fourth crossing of this team with league clubs, with Rayadas and Tigres being the other teams in question, obtaining a victory against Rayadas and Tigres in Houston and a defeat against the felines at the University Stadium.
For this match that took place in Cantera at 10 AM, the Dash presented two different draws that played one half. The first forty-five minutes being made up of soccer players who did not usually have minutes in the NWSL and in the second half the starters of this team such as Rachel Daly, Shea Groom and Nichelle Prince jumped onto the field.
Obviously, and taking advantage of the experience of the squad, Pumas was superior to Dash in the first half, which ended with no goals on the scoreboard, but for the second period, Dash grew a lot and was able to finish the game in the last minutes with a goal by Annika Schmidt after catapulting a free kick from María Sánchez.
Thus, for the slightest difference, the Houston Dash added another victory against a Mexican team and its first in national territory, hoping that, soon, we will see more duels between teams from the NWSL and Liga MX Femenil.
