Tijuana Women

Match report

Tijuana defeated Pachuca 3:1 in the sixth round of the Liga MX women's regular season on Saturday. The hosts took the lead in the eighth minute through D. G. Sandoval Trejo before Pachuca responded with a goal from T. Carter in the twenty-first. That was the pattern for much of the opening half — Tijuana struck when they could, Pachuca chased the game.

By then Pachuca had already taken control of possession, but Tijuana's efficiency told. D. Carrandi restored the lead in the twenty-eighth minute, and the hosts held firm despite a yellow card for K. Hancar in the twenty-second. C. Ihezuo pulled one back for the visitors in the forty-fourth, but the result was already leaning Tijuana's way.

And here's the thing about the numbers — Pachuca enjoyed 68 per cent of the ball and launched 66 attacks, yet managed only one shot on target. Tijuana, with 32 per cent possession, kept eight shots on target and converted three. It is a familiar story: controlling the game does not always mean controlling the result.

Pachuca made changes but could not find a rhythm. T. Carter and L. Parra came on together in the eighty-third minute, while N. Nicosia arrived in the eighty-eighth. Tijuana were more cautious, bringing on D. Carrandi and D. G. Sandoval Trejo in the seventy-first and D. Ojeda in the seventy-fourth to see out the game.

The result keeps Tijuana in eleventh place with six points from six games, two wins and four losses. Pachuca remain ninth with seven points, a win and a draw separating them from the hosts. It was not a match decided by movement across the pitch, but by who took their chances when they mattered.
