Cruz Azul Femenil made its home debut at Estadio Centenario in Cuernavaca with a goalless draw against Chivas in Jornada 2 of the 2026 Clausura in Liga MX Femenil. Both teams, coming off opening wins, displayed quality but lacked finishing in the box. Over 8,000 fans attended the match, drawn by free tickets.
Cruz Azul Femenil aimed to build on its strong start in the 2026 Clausura after thrashing León 5-0 in Jornada 1, but faced a sturdy Chivas that also earned three points in its opener. The match, played on January 9 at Estadio Centenario in Cuernavaca, Morelos, ended 0-0 in a balanced contest where neither side could dominate.
Coach Diego Testas's team showed progress with its bolstered squad, including Brazilian Karol Arcanjo, Peruvian Mía León, Cameroonian Michaela Abam, and Mexican Angélica Torres, all starters. Chivas, led by Antonio Contreras, matched the intensity, creating chances but failing to convert. In the first half, Denise Castro tested goalkeeper Alejandría Godínez, while Mía León missed a shot wide and a header that Blanca Félix handled. Cristina Ferral cleared a celeste attempt off the line.
The second half stayed even. Ana Lucía Martínez nearly scored in the 56th minute with a curling shot that skimmed the post. Testas brought on star signing Uchenna Kanu to unlock the game, but precision was absent. Cruz Azul's board offered free tickets, drawing over 8,000 fans—a promising sign for building roots in their new home.
While the draw keeps them from the top spot, it's a solid point against a strong opponent. La Máquina is evolving under Testas, setting up for a competitive run in the women's circuit.
