It’s been fun watching the evolution of the teams this season. With a glut of new coaches with new ideas and new perspectives as well as new players coming into the league (as well as more senior players getting time thanks to other players with national teams in World Cup Qualification Tournaments), it’s been a bit of a wild ride so far.
But time is the great equalizer. Over time, trends become more apparent as the good teams rise to the top while the teams that may have had a couple of lucky results start to sink. And time stops for no one or no team.
Game of the Week
América 0, Tigres UANL 1: Tigres is catching steam, winning their third straight game by handing América their first loss of the season. It was a tight affair in a downpour at Estadio Azteca, with both teams struggling to create good chances early. Tigres got the lead in the 13th minute when Mia Fishel intercepted a back pass from Janelly Farías and hit a shot that beat Itzel González. It was the only goal of the game, with González making several saves to keep her team in it. But Tigres was too much, holding on despite a late surge from the hosts.

Notes and other things
América goalkeeper Renata Masciarelli posted screenshots of someone sending her death threats. There has been an epidemic of femicide in Mexico, which had a reported 1,015 cases in 2021. The fact that Masciarelli is a public figure will hopefully help shed more light on this, and with that recognition and awareness it will help bring about a solution.

Steph Yang of The Athletic interviewed Mia Fishel about how she’s getting on in Monterrey.
While in Mexico for Concacaf quals, I got to talk to Tigres star Mia Fishel about being seen as part of Liga MX Femenil's growth, how Tigres' style under Moscato benefits her USWNT aspirations, and winning at Super Smash Bros

Game of Next Week
There are a couple of games I’m excited for this week, with Tijuana and Pachuca being between two very good teams (and perhaps Jenni Hermoso’s debut) as well as Juárez and Atlas up there. But Chivas hosting Toluca should be the best of the week.
Chivas is unbeaten and just seems to get better every game, while Toluca has been one of the surprises of the season, going getting 10 points out of a total 15 so far this season. Mariel Román is third in goals scored with four, one behind co-leaders Kiana Palacios and Christina Burkenroad.
