Santos Laguna Warriors achieve an important victory at home
The Santos Laguna Warriors achieved an important victory at home, defeating Centellas del Necaxa two goals to zero. The laguneras offered a second half with greater commitment and variety in attack.
After a "terrible" first half, led by Jorge Macías, they took possession of the ball and did not lend it to Centellas, who only managed to take one shot on goal throughout the match.
The laguneras will play again at home on Monday, February 26th, when they face the rojinegras from Atlas.
23 minutes into the second half, in a one-on-one situation, Nadia Noriega could have opened the scoring, but she arrived at the penalty area in a forced manner and took a shot with her right foot that went wide, silencing the goal cheer.

The first goal of the night was scored by Ana Arvizu, after a corner kick from Yahaira to the penalty spot, two laguneras headed the ball towards the far post, where another header left Arvizo alone, who volleyed the ball into the net.
The hydrocalid could not react as the laguneras pushed forward and did not let them out of their own half.
The second goal was highly praised, as several albiverdes players touched the ball first on the right side, using dribbles and heel passes, the ball reached Yahaira Flores, who took a shot from outside the opponent's area, crossing the ball into the top right corner of Wendy Gallardo's goal, who could only dive to make the goal even more spectacular.
With this victory, the laguneras reach three wins and four losses, surpassing Centellas in the table of Sector Two with nine points compared to six from Aguascalientes.
It was a calm night for referees Diego Rosales (center) and his assistants Adrián Gutiérrez, Jesús Yáñez, and fourth official Jorge Moreno, where there were three yellow cards shown, for Yahaita Flores from Santos and Paulina Pérez and Irán Medina.
