León women secured a comfortable 5:2 victory over Puebla at home in the Liga MX regular season on Tuesday evening. The result moves them up to 11th in the table with 22 points from six matches.
The opening goal came in the fifth minute, though the scorer was not recorded in the available data. V. Bolanos doubled the lead seven minutes later, and B. Micheels added a third before the break in the 25th minute. V. Bolanos completed her brace in the 39th minute to leave the visitors trailing by four goals.
K. Soto made it 4:2 in the 44th minute before the penalty spot came into play. Sixteen minutes after the restart, Soto converted from the spot to extend her tally to two goals. A. Lopez pulled one back for Puebla in the 76th minute, but F. Pinilla sealed the victory eight minutes later.
