Guadalajara women claimed a 3-1 victory against Querétaro in the opening regular season fixture of the Liga MX campaign on Saturday evening. The hosts dominated from the first whistle, controlling 60 per cent of possession and creating more chances throughout the match. It was a result that reflected their position in fifth place, while Querétaro remained rooted in 16th after six games.
The breakthrough came in the 50th minute when S. Cecena found the net, giving Guadalajara the lead. The goal shifted the momentum firmly in the hosts' favour, and they were not to be denied. J. Montoya doubled the advantage shortly after, striking twice in quick succession in the 67th and 73rd minutes to put the result beyond doubt.
Querétaro pulled one back through J. A. Casarez in the 77th minute, but it was too little, too late. The visitors had looked vulnerable all evening, struggling to contain Guadalajara's attacking moves. Yellow cards for C. Vite, F. Barone, and E. Carmona added to the tension as the match progressed.
The statistics told the story of a one-sided contest. Guadalajara registered 131 attacks compared to Querétaro's 91, while their shots on target totalled seven to five. The hosts won seven corners to two, and their possession advantage was clear to see. It was a performance built on control rather than chaos.
The result leaves Guadalajara eight points clear of the bottom side, with both teams still searching for consistency. Querétaro's lone victory this season came against Huáres, but the pattern of defeats suggests they have work to do. Guadalajara, meanwhile, sit comfortably in mid-table after a productive opening month.
