Pachuca started this season as one of the main candidates to win the ‘Liguilla’. The big expectations were justified after ‘Tuzas’ reached the final of the Grita Mexico Tournament Clausura 2022. Pachuca also had one of the top goalscorers of the league last season in Charlyn Corral, and the team seemed to have regained that spark that drove them all the way to the big final in 2017. The expectations grew even more after the signings of the Panamanian Marta Cox and, of course, the 2021 Silver Ball winner, Jennifer Hermoso.
