America Women opened their third regular season campaign with a comprehensive victory over Puebla, winning 5:1 in the Liga MX (women) fixture on Friday evening. The hosts took control from the opening exchanges and never looked back, extending their unbeaten run to eight matches across all competitions. By then the pattern was clear — America dominated possession and territory while Puebla struggled to find any rhythm.
B. Micheels gave America the early lead in the second minute, and M. Saldivar doubled the advantage six minutes later. The opening ten minutes changed everything, and to be fair, Puebla had barely touched the ball before the deficit was insurmountable. The visitors' goalkeeper was kept busy from the first whistle, with America's 15 corners already hinting at what was to come.
Priscila added a third just before the interval in the 37th minute, and A. Soto made it four with a goal in the 46th minute of stoppage time. America had switched off at a set piece in the first half, allowing Puebla to push forward, but the visitors couldn't capitalise. The half ended with the hosts cruising, and the statistics would reflect that dominance.
Geyse scored America's fifth in the 55th minute, then G. Garcia pulled one back for Puebla in the 90th minute plus three. The consolation goal came late, and by then the result was beyond doubt. America made seven substitutions across the second half, rotating players while maintaining their grip on the match.
The numbers tell their own story. America recorded 17 shots on target compared to Puebla's two, and had 64% possession against the visitors' 36%. The hosts generated 93 attacks while Puebla managed only 84, but the quality of chances separated the teams. America's 15 corners to zero for Puebla showed who controlled the wide areas.
America sit top of the table with 18 points from six games, all victories, while Puebla languish in 17th place with just three points from one win and five defeats. The gap between the sides is wider than the scoreline suggests. America's recent results — including a 10:0 victory over Cruz Azul — demonstrate the quality they bring to this competition.
