Rayadas vs America Femenil: Friday's 4-3 Comeback and the Rivalry Behind It
- 🔑 Rayadas of Monterrey beat Club America Femenil 4-3 at Estadio BBVA on Friday, October 2, 2026, in Apertura Jornada 10. Trailing 3-1 at halftime, they scored three times in roughly the first dozen minutes of the second half, with Valerie Vargas getting the winner.
- The league’s own match record logs the 44th-minute and 47th-minute goals as own goals, by Rayadas defender Valeria del Campo and America defender Isadora Haas. Some outlets credit Scarlett Camberos and Aerial Chavarin instead, which is why a few reports call Chavarin a two-goal scorer.
- America arrived unbeaten in the Apertura, with eight wins and a draw, and lost for the first time. As of Friday night, October 2, 2026, Rayadas led the table on 27 points, with America and Tigres level on 25 and America ahead on goal difference.
- Geyse converted a first-half penalty to reach 16 goals this Apertura, the most in the league, and reports say she has scored in all ten of America’s matches. Atletico de San Luis forward Enyerliannys Higuera is next on 12, per the league’s scoring table.
- The clubs have split two league finals. Rayadas won the Clausura 2024 final on penalties after a 2-2 aggregate, and America won the Clausura 2026 final 3-1 on aggregate for its third league title. Rayadas host Cruz Azul Femenil on October 17, 2026.
- Jornada 10 was unfinished at write time, with Atlas v Leon rescheduled to October 22, so every table figure here is pinned to Friday night. The men’s Monterrey vs America match is a separate fixture on October 10, 2026. No odds or win probabilities are used.
Rayadas of Monterrey beat Club America Femenil 4-3 on Friday, October 2, 2026, scoring three times in roughly the first dozen minutes of the second half to turn a 3-1 halftime deficit into a win. The Liga MX Femenil Apertura 2026 Jornada 10 match ended America’s unbeaten start to the tournament and put Rayadas on top of the table. Below are the goals, the scorer-credit confusion in early reports, the standings and the finals history between the two clubs.
Who won Rayadas vs America Femenil, and where was it played?
Rayadas won 4-3 at Estadio BBVA, nicknamed the “Gigante de Acero,” in Guadalupe, Nuevo Leon, in a match scheduled for 9:10 p.m. Mexico City time (11:10 p.m. ET) on Friday, October 2, 2026. Rain fell at times, according to match reports. Priscila Perez Borja was the center referee, per the league’s match sheet. America, the reigning champions, coached by Angel Villacampa, arrived with eight wins and a draw from nine Apertura matches.
How did the goals unfold in Rayadas’ 4-3 win?
America took charge late in the first half to lead 3-1 at the break, and Rayadas then scored three times within roughly a dozen minutes of the restart. Valerie Vargas opened the scoring after a defensive error, finishing inside the area after a pass from Alice Soto, per match reports. Irene Guerrero leveled from close range after a corner. A ball deflected in off Rayadas defender Valeria del Campo made it 2-1, and Geyse converted a penalty in first-half stoppage time for 3-1.
After halftime, Aerial Chavarin’s shot was deflected in by America’s Isadora Haas to make it 3-2. Chavarin then equalized with a long-range strike, and Vargas won it with a left-footed finish inside the area.
| Min | Rayadas | America | Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 18' | Vargas | – | 1-0 |
| 38' | – | Guerrero | 1-1 |
| 44' | – | Del Campo (OG) | 1-2 |
| 45+5' | – | Geyse (pen.) | 1-3 |
| 47' | Haas (OG) | – | 2-3 |
| 53' | Chavarin | – | 3-3 |
| 57' | Vargas | – | 4-3 |
Minutes are approximate because outlets differ by a minute on several goals. OG means own goal, credited to the opposing side. Scores list Rayadas first.
Who scored the own goals, and why do reports differ?
The league’s own match record logs both the 44th-minute goal (Valeria del Campo, Rayadas) and the 47th-minute goal (Isadora Haas, America) as own goals, while some outlets credit Scarlett Camberos and Aerial Chavarin instead. That explains why scorer lists vary and why some reports call Chavarin a two-goal scorer. We follow the league’s tags. The credit is a statistics question only: every source we read agrees on the 4-3 final and on the order of the goals.
What did the result mean for the Apertura standings?
As of Friday night, October 2, 2026, Rayadas led the league on 27 points, with America and Tigres level on 25 and America ahead on goal difference in the league’s general table. Rayadas (nine wins, one loss) top Group A, and America still lead Group B. Tigres drew level on 25 by beating Pumas earlier on Friday, per reports. The loss was America’s first of the Apertura, leaving them at 8-1-1.
Jornada 10 is not finished: three matches were set for Saturday, October 3, two for Sunday, October 4, and Atlas v Leon was rescheduled to October 22, so the table will keep moving. Geyse leads the scoring chart with 16 goals, ahead of Atletico de San Luis forward Enyerliannys Higuera on 12, and reports say she has scored in all ten of America’s Apertura matches.
What is the history between Rayadas and America Femenil in finals?
The clubs have met in two league finals and split them: Rayadas won the Clausura 2024 title on penalties, and America won the Clausura 2026 title 3-1 on aggregate. In 2024, America took the first leg 1-0, Rayadas won the second leg 2-1, and Rayadas won the shootout 4-3. In 2026, Rayadas won the first leg 1-0 in Monterrey before America won the return 3-0, which gave the club its third league championship. We haven’t found a reliable all-time head-to-head record, so we don’t quote one.
What is next for Rayadas and America Femenil?
Rayadas host Cruz Azul Femenil on Saturday, October 17, 2026, in Jornada 11, after the FIFA international break. America are also scheduled to host Pachuca that round, according to reports, which differ on the date and stadium, so we leave those unpinned.
Is this the men’s Monterrey vs America match?
No, this recap covers the women’s match; the men’s Liga MX game between Monterrey and America is a separate fixture set for Saturday, October 10, 2026, and had not been played at publication.
What is the bottom line from Friday’s match?
Rayadas came from two goals down to beat the reigning champions and finished Friday, October 2, 2026, atop the Apertura table. The standings above are a snapshot from that night, because Jornada 10 does not end until October 22. The finals rivalry stays level at one title each, and Friday added a regular-season chapter to it.
How we verified this
- Match record: The final score, referee, kickoff slot, group and general tables, and scoring chart were read from the Liga MX Femenil league’s own match and statistics pages, then cross-checked against seven independent outlets by parent company (national and regional news sites, sports dailies and broadcaster sites). Every source we read agrees on the 4-3 score and the order of the goals.
- Own goals (conflict): The league’s own match feed tags the Valeria del Campo goal and the Isadora Haas goal as own goals, and several outlets log them the same way. Others credit Scarlett Camberos for the 44th-minute goal and Aerial Chavarin for the 47th, so a few call Chavarin a two-goal scorer. We followed the league’s tags and say so in the text.
- Minutes (conflict): Outlets differ by a minute on several goals (first goal 17th or 18th, first equalizer 37th or 38th, penalty 45+5 or 45+6, long-range equalizer 52nd or 53rd), so the article uses approximate minutes.
- Kickoff (conflict): One live blog listed 9:00 p.m. Mexico City time; the league’s match page and a broadcaster’s preview listed 9:10 p.m. (11:10 p.m. ET). We used 9:10 p.m.
- Table: Points, records and goal difference come from the league’s group and general tables, read on Saturday, October 3, 2026, before the next Jornada 10 matches kicked off. One report called America “second place”; the general table supports that only on goal difference (America +34, Tigres +22, both on 25 points), so we say it that way and pin it to Friday night. Jornada 10 was still unfinished at write time (three matches on Saturday, two on Sunday, Atlas v Leon on October 22), so these figures are still moving.
- Rivalry history: Two independent sources (a sports-daily explainer and a broadcaster’s preview) agree on both finals, including the 2-2 aggregate and 4-3 shootout in 2024. One photo caption labels a 2026 leg inconsistently with its own article text, so we followed the text (Rayadas 1-0 in the first leg, America 3-0 in the return, 3-1 on aggregate). We found no reliable all-time head-to-head record and quote none.
- Single-sourced or unresolved: Geyse’s ten-match scoring streak comes from two reports, while the league’s scoring table confirms her 16 goals. Rayadas v Cruz Azul Femenil on October 17 is reported by two sources; America’s Jornada 11 date and stadium conflict between reports, so we do not state them. Attendance, lineup and injury details were not checked. The men’s October 10 match date was confirmed on a broadcaster’s schedule and a US sports site’s schedule; that match had not been played.
