arrived in the league with a lot of anticipation and after 168 minutes on the field, she’s proven that she’s ready to go. Le Sommer, not only scored in her debut but also after only three games, she has registered three goals and one assist including a sensational brace in the latest match against Tijuana.

More Eagles to the nest

On Monday, Club América announced the signing of a new player. Jordan Brewster joined the Eagles on loan from NWSL’s Bay FC.

After beginning her professional career in Sweden in 2023, Brewster joined Bay FC ahead of the club’s inaugural season and has appeared in four matches with the club.

About this move, Director Matt Potter said: “Jordan has been a valuable part of Bay FC’s journey, and we’re incredibly grateful for everything she’s brought to the club, on and off the pitch. Club América provides her a fantastic opportunity to continue developing her game in a competitive environment. We’ll be following her progress closely and look forward to seeing what the future holds for her.”

Bruna Vilamala’s debut

Spaniard Bruna Vilamala made her debut with Club América against León in the 60th minute when she entered for Nicki Hernández.

Vilamala became the fifth Spaniard to play for América after Andrea Pereira, Andrea Falcón, Sandra Paños and Irene Guerrero.

Atlético de San Luis win and how’s the table shaping

There weren’t many surprises in week 3 regarding results. However, Atlético de San Luis surprised many when, after 90+ minutes, the score finished with a 1-0 win for them against Cruz Azul.

San Luis was able to keep one of the league’s top goalscorers, Aerial Chavarin, at bay, something not many have been able to do. This win is the club’s first this season and could be the jump-start for them after not having a good tournament last season.

In other news, Pachuca’s Charlyn Corral continues to be the most determining attacker. After three weeks, she’s the league’s top goalscorer with five goals and four assists.
