"Every time you write to me, I score a goal, you always bring good luck. You are a super important person, and because of you, I returned to Toluca, and I am eternally grateful," said Vega. "I had a conversation with Alexis, he had the humility to call me, I told him he had to make the decision to return home because the teams that were looking for him were two media-driven teams. He needed to recover and get physically fit as he is now. You understood that this was the path to success. Football will reward you, and surely next week you'll be celebrating," added Cardozo, words that moved Vega to tears. 😭 ALEXIS BROKE DOWN.

Corral smashes Liga MX Femenil goal record with 21 strikes and counting
April 15 (Reuters) - Pachuca striker Charlyn Corral has rewritten the Liga MX Femenil record books, netting an unprecedented 21 goals with still one match remaining in the regular season. The Mexican forward's scoring spree surpassed her own previous benchmark of 20 goals set during the Clausura 2023 tournament, establishing a new high-water mark in Mexican women's professional football. "Genius, idol, artist, master, machine, tiger, beast, earthquake, lightning, tsunami, indomitable, supreme mind, Kung fu master, peerless warrior. And they fall short, simply: Charlyn Corral," Liga MX Femenil posted on social media, Mexican daily sports newspaper Esto reported. The 33-year-old is poised to claim her fourth individual scoring title in the Clausura 2025 Tournament, having previously topped the charts with 20 goals in Clausura 2023, 19 in Clausura 2024, and 18 in Apertura 2024, before eclipsing her own benchmark this season. Corral's record-breaking tally could increase as Pachuca next host Tigres on Saturday in the 17th and final match of the regular phase Clausura.
