Cruz Azul Women

Match report

Tigres UANL Women secured a convincing 3-0 victory over Cruz Azul (women) in the fourth round of Liga MX's regular season on August 23, 2026. The result extends Tigres' perfect start to the campaign, while Cruz Azul's form continues to fluctuate. By then, the visitors had already established their control over the contest.

The match opened with a disciplinary blow for the hosts when T. Sanchez picked up a yellow card in the 19th minute, followed by another in the 20th. Three substitutions hit the pitch at the hour mark as Cruz Azul tried to shift momentum, bringing on J. Lopez, G. Espinoza and S. Mayor all at once. And here's the thing — the changes did not alter the flow of the game.

Tigres broke the deadlock in the 66th minute through T. Kgatlana, who found the back of the net to give her side the lead. M. Reyes doubled the advantage just five minutes later, and a third goal arrived in the 72nd. The visitors did not travel to make up the numbers, and they made sure their dominance was reflected on the scoreboard.

The statistics tell the fuller story of one-sided possession. Tigres controlled 61 per cent of the ball and registered 76 attacks compared to Cruz Azul's 30. Shots on target ran 6-2 in favour of the visitors, while the hosts managed only four corners. Many shots with one goal would suggest a different match, but here the chances were converted efficiently.

Cruz Azul sit 12th on six points from five games, with three defeats already in the ledger. Tigres remain in second place with 15 points from five wins, and they have not dropped a single point since the season began. The gap between the two sides is now clear for all to see.
