Overview
- Pachuca beat Cruz Azul 2-1 in Mexico City as Charlyn Corral scored twice to overturn an early Aerial Chavarin header, with the return set for Saturday at Estadio Hidalgo.
- Tigres earned a 1-0 first-leg win at Juárez through a Stephany Mayor header from a Jennifer Hermoso cross, taking an edge back to El Volcán as the top seed.
- Monterrey and América drew 1-1 after Irene Guerrero converted a first-half penalty and Jermaine Seoposenwe equalized in stoppage time with a lob over Sandra Paños.
