After weeks and weeks of being the face of world news, Jenni Hermoso is now back doing what she prefers to do: playing football. The fallout from the World Cup final, when the Spanish FA president, Luis Rubiales, grabbed Hermoso by the head and planted an unsolicited kiss on her lips, is far from over but with 9,000 km between her Mexican club, Pachuca, and Madrid, there is at least some room to breathe.
On Sunday, Pachuca hosted América in Liga MX Femenil, a long-awaited game between last season’s top two sides. América took a two-goal lead but Hermoso led the comeback, supplying two assists as Pachuca ran out 4-2 winners at the Estadio Hidalgo.
