Puebla Women

Match report

Monterrey secured a 2-1 victory over Puebla in the Liga MX women's regular season on Saturday evening. The result extended their unbeaten run to eight matches and kept them top of the table. By then the gap at the summit was 21 points, and the visitors had already demonstrated they should have too much for most opposition.

L. Garcia opened the scoring for the hosts in the 46th minute, but the momentum shifted quickly. A. Lopez equalised for Monterrey just 12 minutes later before their own strike found the net in stoppage time. The decision was overturned on the red card that followed, but the damage was done.

L. Garcia was shown a second yellow and then a red in the 72nd minute, reducing Puebla to ten men at a critical stage. The hosts camped in the final third after that, but Monterrey kept their heads and managed the game. The wheels came off for the home side once they were down to ten.

Monterrey dominated possession with 68 per cent and registered 11 shots on target compared to Puebla's 6. Yet they only converted two chances, while the hosts managed one from six attempts. Cup football has its own rules, though this was league football, and the statistics tell a straightforward story.

We had backed the visitors to win with 71 per cent confidence, and the result confirmed that assessment. Monterrey's dominance in possession and shots was consistent with their position at the top of the table. Puebla, meanwhile, remain rooted to 17th place with just three points from nine games.
