The UANL Tigres, defending champions, were confirmed this Monday as favorites for the Clausura title in the Liga MX Femenil, by beating Atlas 6-0 at the end of the first day.
Nigerian Uchenna Kanu, with three goals, American Mia Fischel, with two, and Jacqueline Ovalle scored for the winners.
In the 6th minute, Fischel accepted a service from Ovalle and made it 1-0, extending the lead in minute 31 with a forehand from Fischel after a service from Natalia Villarreal.
In the second half, Tigres increased the advantage in a controversial way, with a goal from Kanu, after the goalkeeper Ana Gabriela Paz collided with an attacker and was left on the ground, without the referee stopping the game.
Kanu took advantage of a rebound from the goalkeeper and with a header made it 4-0, in minute 59; in minute 75 Ovalle scored a long-distance goal and in minute 92 Kanu also scored through the air to catch up with Alicia Cervantes as the lead scorer.
