America, who played in three of the four most recent league<\/a> finals and lost all three, came out pressing and dominated at the start of the match.<\/p>\n

Against an opponent that regretted the absence of its main scorer, the Spanish Luc\u00eda Garc\u00eda, who was injured.<\/p>\n

In the 25th minute, Monterrey capitalized on a defensive lapse by the \u00c1guilas.<\/p>\n

Soto received a ball in the middle of the field, broke away unmarked and left-footed past Spanish goalkeeper Sandra Pa\u00f1os to make it 1-0.<\/p>\n

Am\u00e9rica went on the attack in search of the equalizer and had possession of the ball for a longer period of time.<\/p>\n

However, they left space at the back and in the 40th minute came close to conceding a second goal.<\/p>\n

South African Jermaine Seoposenwe arrived alone in the area, but confirmed she was far from her best form and gave the ball to Pa\u00f1os (Filed as: Rayadas defeat Am\u00e9rica in final).<\/p>\n

The locals withstood the pressure<\/h2>\n
