Women’s MX League

Mexico City, The Mexican-American Lucía Yáñez, former member of Puebla, requested an audience with Mariana Gutiérrez, president of the Liga Mx Femenil, to expose the case of harassment and defamation that she faced without receiving the support of the team.

“I respectfully requested that my case be heard, analyzed and thus prevent this from happening to other soccer players. I hope with all my heart that having raised my voice does not close my focus on Mexican women’s soccer. My dream since I was a child has been to have a professional career,” said the player when breaking the silence with a message on social networks.

Yánez faced threats on social networks as well as a campaign of defamation and harassment, to the point that they stoned the windows of his house and in the Puebla stadium they threw leaflets with insults against him on date one of the tournament.

“I asked to have access to the stadium security cameras and they said yes, but they never did. Their solution was to give me two days off to clear my head,” the defender revealed.

According to the season In Deportes and the Puebla newspaper Grada, who revealed the case on Wednesday, the player reported this situation to the club’s sports director Daniel Cessa and coach Guillermo Cosío, who was dismissed a few days ago. However, she was not supported and was asked not to make the case public.

Lucía now detailed in a statement that the Puebla team only helped her temporarily block the profiles of the people who were bothering her, but the attacks continued.

However, upon reiterating the seriousness of her situation, they stopped calling her for matches and the club limited themselves to making a proposal to release her, which is why, not receiving sufficient support, she decided to return to her family in the United States.

Mexico City, In another case of aggression, the Disciplinary Commission of the Mexican Soccer Federation opened an investigation after the Bravas of Ciudad Juárez reported discriminatory shouts against the players at the Alfonso Lastras stadium during the September 30 match against San Luis, corresponding to matchday 13 of the Apertura 2024 tournament of the Liga Mx Femenil.

“This Commission will proceed to evaluate the evidence presented by the club and will carry out an analysis of the facts,” the entity said in a statement.

“Once the investigations are concluded, the Juárez club will be informed about the resolution that arises from this process,” he added.

The complaint was filed after Bravas goalkeeper Renata Masciarelli claimed on social media that San Luis fans hurled racist insults at members of the Ciudad Juárez team.

“To those who went to Alfonso Lastras to shout racist obscenities at our colleagues, I hope you have the decency to never appear in a soccer stadium again. Totally unacceptable, low and stupid. And to those who just sat there without pointing them out…shame,” Renata Masciarelli published on social networks.

Querétaro lost everything it had built against Atlas in one play. In stoppage time, after a close and tough match at the Corregidora stadium, the locals lost sight of the clock and suffered a goal from Brenda Delgado, with which the red and black tied 1-1 on matchday 14 of the Liga Mx Femenil .

The tie generated a shock in the spirit of the queretanas. There were faces of confusion, complaints from one side of the field to the other, glances at the sky with sighs of resignation. The 1-0 by defender Alondra Camargo, including an error by goalkeeper Yaren Yanez-couto, excited dozens of people who gathered at the Gallos home (17).

It was not a festive atmosphere like on the big stages, but it was enough to reflect Querétaro’s intention to get into the league positions. After occupying the last places in the classification for several dates, the victory could confirm the locals among the main contenders for the next phase. Although they were close to achieving it, in the end it was not enough for them.

“We are still there, competing against the other teams seeking to qualify. This time it wasn’t possible, but the results will happen over time,” said Alondra Camargo after a tie that leaves the Queretaro team with 22 points in eighth place in the table, only one above Chivas, which Sunday receives the Xolas of Tijuana.

The goal that prevented the defeat of the red and black team occurred after referee Gerardo Yahir Mendoza added seven minutes of replacement. During that period, the locals got confused, caused a foul inside the area that was awarded as a penalty and Delgado, firmly, celebrated the final tie before the final whistle.

With the same 22 units as Querétaro, the Guadalajara team left Corregidora located in seventh place, but within reach of several rivals who intend to get into the big party of Mexican women’s soccer.

América began to gain rhythm in the Liga MX femenil. For a week in a row they repeated their victory with the same large score they achieved last week (4-0), with the difference that this time Necaxa was the prey.

With the responsibility of improving from their early elimination in the Summer Cup, the Azulcremas have found in the domestic tournament the necessary relief to make up for what they did in the competition held in the United States.

Thus, Angel Villacampa’s team knew how to impose conditions in Coapa. Against a team that is at the bottom of the table, the team from the capital knew how to take advantage of their opponents’ shortcomings to open the scoring with a well-executed penalty by Kiana Palacios (20′).

After the goal, the home team entered a period of lack of clarity due to their lack of decisiveness. Despite having control, it took them a long time to get the opposing net back on track.

It was only at the end that they knew how to open the lock of the Aguascalidas. Natalia Mauleón found a space to drive the ball through the center of the area, and then, faced with poor marking, she headed towards the goal and defined with her right foot.

With the advantage in their favor, the Eagles handled the final moments of the match with ease. Without pressure, the last goals came more easily from a pair of crosses that Aylín Aviléz and Karen Luna knew how to finish.

Tigres, for their part, did not fail in their visit to the State of Mexico. Accustomed to success, the current champions showed no mercy to Toluca; they beat them 6-0.
