It’s good to see Mexican players playing in all sorts of different leagues and succeeding. Take the case of Zoe Tapia and Karina Santana, who are with Suva Sports in Costa Rica’s Primera División Femenina. While their team has struggled mightily this season, Tapia scored this week, Santana scored last week, and perhaps more importantly they’re both getting meaningful professional minutes. It’s always good to see players finding a place where they can fit in and get minutes, and it looks like Tapia and Santana have that with Suva.
