Querétaro Women

Match report

Santos Laguna secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Querétaro in the Liga MX women's regular season second round on August eighth. The result moved the visitors up to thirteenth place while the hosts remain rooted to sixteenth. Three goals were scored in the space of twenty-six minutes, with the opening exchanges setting the tone for a tight contest.

I.A. Gonzalez Rendon gave Querétaro the lead on forty minutes, but Santos responded almost immediately. N. Grimaldo equalised three minutes later before Santos took control in the second half. S. Calvillo's goal on sixty-six minutes proved decisive, though the match was not without drama as a red card arrived in stoppage time.

Querétaro dominated possession at fifty-one percent and registered more attacks, yet Santos made their chances count. The visitors landed eight shots on target compared to four for the hosts, with a sixty-two percent accuracy rate. It was a case of efficiency over volume, and by then the visitors had taken the points.

The table tells a clearer story than the match statistics. Santos sit on six points from six games with two victories, while Querétaro have managed only one win and three points. The visitors had previously beaten the hosts 3-0 in April, and this result extended their advantage over the bottom side.

What matters most is the gap widening between these two teams. Santos are building something from their wins, while Querétaro find themselves deeper in the mire. Three goals, one red card, and a result that will only sharpen the focus on the bottom of the table.
