MONTERREY, Mexico — In a remarkable display of skill and creativity, Tigres midfielder Lizbeth Ovalle scored an unforgettable goal in Liga MX Femenil competition on Monday night. With her back turned towards the net, Ovalle managed an audacious flick over the goalkeeper using her left heel while suspended mid-air.
Facing away from the goal as she stood near the edge of the penalty area, Ovalle received a perfectly placed cross from Jenni Hermoso, the Spanish forward. With a deft touch, she propelled the ball in a high arc, sending it under the crossbar to complete the astonishing maneuver.
Hermoso, known for her role in the 2023 Women’s World Cup, appeared both surprised and amazed by the successful goal. She dropped to her knees in awe as the ball found its way into the net. Meanwhile, Ovalle celebrated her extraordinary strike by racing towards her teammates gathered at the Tigres bench, sharing the jubilant moment.
This moment of magic contributed to Tigres’ 2-0 victory over Guadalajara, further solidifying their position in Mexico’s premier women’s soccer league.
