Copper Queens Attacker Prisca Chilufya Features in Juarez Femenil’s First Defeat of the Season
Juarez Femenil, featuring Zambia’s Prisca Chilufya, experienced their first defeat of the Liga MX Femenil season with a 2-1 loss to Pumas. Despite a strong effort from Chilufya, who played for 79 minutes, Juarez couldn’t secure a victory.
Juarez had a promising start, holding Pumas scoreless in the first half. However, Pumas’ Aerial Chavarin broke the deadlock just nine minutes into the second half. Despite Juarez’s efforts to equalize, their task became more challenging when Tanzanian defender Julitha Singano received a second yellow card in the 72nd minute.
Down to 10 players, Juarez conceded again in the 82nd minute, with Stephanie Ribeiro finding the net for Pumas. Despite the setback, Juarez managed a consolation goal in the 90th minute through Jasmine Casarez. The defeat dropped Juarez to 10th place on the table with five points from four games.
Chilufya’s substitution in the 79th minute coincided with a reduction in Juarez’s attacking threat, highlighting her significance to the team. The Zambian international will aim to contribute to a winning performance when Juarez faces Santos Laguna on Friday, with Santos Laguna still searching for their first win of the season and currently at the bottom of the table.
