The first leg of the 2022 Liga MX Clausura Final had everything that makes the league so appealing. Two teams largely locked into a cerebral battle of positioning that allowed some fluky goals, some real stunners, a crowd that was loud and enjoying the game, and of course plenty of controversy. At the end of it, Chivas got a brace from Licha Cervantes and will take a 4-2 lead home to defend against a Pachuca side that fought like warriors.
Licha Cervantes had the first opportunity of the game with a long distance shot in an attempt to catch Esthefanny Barreras off of her line, but it went over the bar.
