Former Barcelona player Geyse Da Silva scored a decisive goal last night, lifting América to a 0-1 victory over defending champions Tigres UANL. The Brazilian's strike moved América to second place in the Clausura women's football tournament in Mexico.

Under Spanish coach Ángel Villacampa, América's defense effectively neutralized Tigres' attack, limiting the champions to just one dangerous first-half opportunity by Diana Ordóñez.
