In a clear way, América is beating Leon without any problems in Coapa, in the last matchday of the Apertura 2021.

Two minutes of reposition are added.

Liliana Sánchez leaves León with 10 players after being sent off for a double yellow card.

In the last minutes, the pace of the game slowed down, partly due to the constant fouls of both teams.

This was América Femenil's third goal.

The ball is rolling in Coapa! América Femenil and León Femenil are already facing each other.

Historically, in the women's competition, these two clubs have played against each other five times, with three draws and two wins for the Águilas.

America Femenil would have 31 points and the most they could aspire to is fifth place, that is, just one more point. It should be noted that, if they finish the competition this way, they would face Chivas in the quarterfinals.

Meanwhile, Leon Femenil, by winning, could reach thirteenth place with 17 points and end its participation this year.

The Friday before last, at their home, the Nou Camp Stadium, they didn't hurt Atlético de San Luis and ended up with a scoreless draw.

The previous Saturday, playing at home at the Estadio Azteca, they held leaders Tigres to a 1-1 draw, with a last-minute goal by Karen Luna.

The team coached by Scarlett Parada was below expectations and, as a result, did not perform as well as expected. Proof of this is that they are in fifteenth place in the general table with 14 points, after accumulating three wins, five draws and eight losses; they have scored 17 goals and conceded 26.

The team coached by Craig Harrington has had ups and downs in its performance, but has achieved positive results, which is why it is in sixth place in the standings with 28 points, the result of eight wins, four draws and four defeats; it has scored 29 goals and conceded 18.

This Saturday morning, in Mexico City, the women's teams of America and Leon will face each other on the last day of the competition, and they will do so with very different realities, since while the locals have qualified for the playoffs, the visitors have had no chance of advancing for a few weeks now.
