Chivas Women beaten by Pachuca in a tight AP26 clash

It was not the afternoon Chivas Femenil had hoped for. Guadalajara visited Estadio Hidalgo this afternoon to face Pachuca on Matchday 4 of the Apertura 2026 and, although the Red-and-Whites showed character and looked to compete from start to finish, they ultimately fell 3-1 to the Tuzas.

The Rebaño arrived in Hidalgo determined to maintain their perfect run in the tournament and were rewarded for their persistence in the 33rd minute. Natalia Colín delivered a precise pass that found Alicia Cervantes, who fired a clinical shot into the back of the net to give Guadalajara the lead.

The team coached by Antonio Contreras kept up the intensity after the goal and found one of their standout performers in Blanca Félix. In the 49th minute, the rojiblanca goalkeeper made a magnificent save to deflect the ball and prevent the home side from finding the equalizer. However, the Tuzas came back on the scoreboard with 3 goals from Charlyn Corral, Yirleidis Quejada and Ohale Osinachi.

With that, Chivas Femenil suffered their first setback of Apertura 2026 and will have to turn the page to focus on their next match, when they host Pumas at Akron Stadium next Sunday, August 30 at 5:00 PM, on Matchday 5 of AP26.
