It was time for a sports day!
In a dominant display of talent, intensity, and tactical execution, Pachuca claimed their first-ever Campeón de Campeones title with a 1-0 victory over Monterrey. The highly anticipated match, held as a finale to crown the best of Liga MX Femenil’s recent champions, quickly turned into a statement performance from Pachuca, who showed hunger, cohesion, and complete control from the first whistle.
The match was played with high energy and physicality, but it was Pachuca who clearly set the tone early on. They controlled possession and kept the pressure mounted on Monterrey’s defensive line throughout the night. Every build-up from Pachuca was purposeful, and they looked dangerous each time they crossed midfield. Whether through long balls, short passes, or set pieces, their attack was relentless.
Goal At 53"
At the heart of that intensity was veteran forward Charlyn Corral, who played one of her most complete matches of the season. A constant threat in the attacking third, Corral pressed high, dropped back to win the ball, and orchestrated dangerous chances all evening. Her leadership on the pitch was undeniable, and she kept Monterrey’s backline on their heels for the entire match.
Despite dominating possession and registering multiple shots on target, it wasn’t until the 53rd minute that Pachuca finally broke through. Midfielder Nina Nicosia capitalized on a defensive lapse with a composed finish that sent the crowd into a frenzy. The goal was a product of sustained pressure and well-deserved for a side that had been knocking on the door since kickoff.
Monterrey, to their credit, tried to respond but looked out of rhythm and lacked the creativity to break down Pachuca’s well-organized midfield and backline. Pachuca defended as a unit, cutting off passing lanes and winning second balls with authority. Goalkeeper Esthefanny Barreras had a relatively quiet night, thanks to the discipline and positioning of her teammates in front of her.
CAMPEON DE CAMPEONES
The final whistle marked a historic moment for Pachuca, who not only claimed the Campeón de Campeones title for the first time in club history but did so in dominant fashion. The win was a culmination of months of growth, teamwork, and belief — a fitting reward for a club that has steadily established itself as one of the top forces in Liga MX Femenil.
Head coach Juan Carlos Cacho praised his squad’s performance after the match, calling it “one of the most complete games we’ve played this year.” He singled out Corral for her relentless engine and leadership, and Nicosia for her clutch finishing in a high-pressure moment.
For Pachuca, this victory cements their place among the league’s elite and signals a new era of ambition and silverware. For Monterrey, it’s back to the drawing board as they regroup and prepare for the upcoming season.
One thing is certain—Pachuca made history, and they did it their way: with grit, style, and total domination.
