América won the Concacaf W Champions Cup by beating Washington Spirit 5-3
The Águilas del América reaffirmed their great season by beating Washington Spirit 5-3 to win the Concacaf Champions Cup
The Águilas del América put the icing on the cake to the great campaign they had in the Liga MX Femenil by beating the Washington Spirit 5-3 to win the Concacaf W Champions Cup in a duel held at the Hidalgo stadium in the city of Pachuca.
A title that reaffirms the great work of the Clausura 2026 tournament of the Liga MX Femenil, crowning the work of the Spanish Ángel Villacampa, who was highly questioned for not being able to win a title on three previous occasions.
The Americanists won with two goals from the Brazilian Geyse and the others from Aylín Avilez, the Spanish Irene Guerrero and Scarlett Camberos to beat the North American team where the Ivorian Rose Kouassi, who scored two goals, and the Italian Sofía Cantore, one, were present.
A duel that was not easy to add to this international victory, as the North Americans fought with everything while they had the fuel, but after the 25th minute the American team took advantage of the mistake made by the Colombian Leicy Santos in a cross by the Mexican Rebeca Bernal.
Then América appeared with the arrival of Scarlet Camberos when she appeared from the left sector to place a perfect assist for Avilez, who without problems finished from the right to place the ball in the nets for the 1-0.
That was a direct blow to the confidence of the North American team, since they still had not recovered from the first goal when a shot by Geyse, after making a cut, beat the Scottish goalkeeper Sandy Maclver.
America gave the impression that it would overtake the Spirits team, but suddenly Cantore appeared with a long-distance shot with the complicity of Mexican goalkeeper Itzel Velasco, who did not know how to stop the ball.
The Americans were emboldened by Cantore's goal, since, starting the second half, Santos gave Kouassi a way to shoot over the goalkeeper to tie the match and give another meaning to the actions.
The Spirit continued forward to smell the blood of the Eagles and with Kouassi enlarged, they gave the American defenses a dance to defeat Velasco and make the score 2-3 in an incredible score that seemed to hit the confidence of the Mexicans.
Three minutes later, Maclever made a huge mistake by letting Geyse tie the score at three goals, which was the advance touch of the Americanists to come from behind and allow the scoreboard to turn around.
At 79, Guerrero scored with his left foot against Camberos to make the score 4-3, where the North American team closed ranks and looked for a counterattack as a way to hurt the American team, but in the end, in the 90 6 minute, Camberos scored the goal that closed the score. 5-3 after a pass from Geyse.
Prior to this game, Pachuca achieved third place in the Concacaf competition by beating Gotham FC 3-0 with goals from Charlyn Correa and the Brazilian Aline Gomes.
