El Tri Femenil Queda Fuera Del Mundial Sub-20: No Pudo Con España Ni Con Los Postes

El camino a la gloria se cerró. La selección mexicana femenil sub-20, la única que sobrevivía de la Concacaf en el Mundial de Costa Rica, no pudo ante España – ni con los postes – y quedó fuera en los cuartos de final del torneo.

Charlyn Corral Acalla A Aficionados Que Se Burlaban De Su Físico Con Gol Y Corte De Manga

Charlyn Corral anotó un doblete en la goleada 4-1 sobre Querétaro y llegó a la cima del campeonato de goleo de la Liga MX Femenil con un total de ocho conquistas.

Si me preguntan a mí, gestos bien justificados.
