Club Am\u00e9rica Femenil may have said goodbye to midfielder Scarlett Camberos<\/a>, but the team had plenty of fire power this week in Liga MX Femenil<\/a><\/strong>. Hosting Chivas de Guadalajara, Am\u00e9rica stunned Alicia Cervantes and company with a 2-0 shutout win. <\/p>\n

Sabrina Enciso struck at the top of the box for the opening tally in the 62nd minute, firing between two defenders and past Chivas goalkeeper Blanca F\u00e9lix. The defender, who has been with Club Am\u00e9rica since last year\u2019s Apertura season, looked like another striker.<\/p>\n

Andrea Pereira tacked on an insurance goal in the 68th minute, after Club Am\u00e9rica was awarded a penalty kick. The converted penalty was her third goal of the season. <\/p>\n

Am\u00e9rica has now jumped over Chivas in the standings and sits in the second-place spot with 26 points. Chivas, too, has 26 points, but trails on goal differential (+30 to Chivas\u2019 +16). <\/p>\n

Highlight: Pachuca 7, Tijuana 2<\/h3>\n

Needless to say, it was not a pleasant evening for Club Tijuana. Pachuca unleashed all sorts of pent up fury against Xolos<\/em>, earning a 7-2 victory at home. Charlyn Corral recorded yet another hat trick, while Jenni Hermoso added two goals. Lizbeth \u00c1ngeles and American international Jillian Jennings tacked on goals for Tuzos<\/em>. <\/p>\n

Corral put on a clinic, scoring twice in the first half and early in the second half. Kicking things off in the 9th minute, Corral picked up a goal kick from her goalkeeper and faked out Tijuana goalkeeper Alejandra Guti\u00e9rrez, firing toward the corner of the net. Her second goal was nearly identical, scoring off another goal kick. Corral\u2019s third and final tally came after she passed the ball to herself and muscled away her defenders.<\/p>\n

Jennings scored off a rebound as Hermoso took a direct free kick that smacked off the post. Meanwhile, Hermoso got on the scoreboard after a dink-and-dunk play with Marta Cox inside the box. The Spanish forward found herself flanked with defenders, and passed the ball to Cox at the top of the penalty area. Instead of firing herself, she sent the ball back to Hermoso, who shook off her defenders, and fired. Initially saved by goalkeeper Guti\u00e9rrez, Hermoso scored on the rebound. <\/p>\n

Hermoso\u2019s second goal saw her dance in the box around a defender, while being swarmed by three more defenders, and fire a shot off. To finalize things, \u00c1ngeles scored off a header during a breakaway play in the 85th minute. Club Tijuana\u2019s misery was finally over. <\/p>\n

Tijuana found themselves trailing by three when Paola Villamizar found the back of the net, off a pass from the midfield. After taking one touch to settle the ball, Villamizar fired past diving Pachuca goalkeeper Esthefanny Barreras. Down by four goals, Renae Cuellar stepped up to the penalty spot and converted her shot.<\/p>\n

Charlyn Corral has once again taken the top spot in the Golden Boot race, with 13 goals. Hermoso is one spot behind, occupying second place with 12 goals. They are being hunted by C.F. Monterrey\u2019s Christina Burkenroad, who rounds out the top three with 10 goals. <\/p>\n

Highlight: C.F. Monterrey 1, Tigres 1<\/h3>\n

Monterrey and Tigres is a rivalry as old as time. The two teams share the same city of Monterrey and their stadiums are just minutes apart from each other. However, for the Clausura, it was Monterrey that got to host at Estadio BBVA. <\/p>\n

Monterrey was on a perfect spell through the season until last week, when they met up with Chivas and drew. This week, a second-straight draw occurred with their rivals. <\/p>\n

Nigerian international Chinwendu Ihezuo scored the opening tally for Rayadas<\/em> in the 38th minute. Diana Evangelista assisted the goal, sprinting toward the box and sending the ball to Ihezuo, who edged out defender Jana Guti\u00e9rrez for the tap-in goal. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Tigres equalized after the halftime break. Former UCLA standout Maricarmen Reyes scored the tying goal in the 47th minute, almost identical to how her counterpart Ihezuo scored \u2014 but Reyes used her head. <\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Tigres still remains in their fifth place spot with the point, while Monterrey still holds first place with nine wins, two draws. As the season winds down and the Liguilla grows closer, keep an eye out especially for Tigres\u2019 final landing spot on the table. <\/p>\n
