Verónica Charlyn Corral Ang (born 11 September 1991) is a Mexican footballer who plays as a striker for Liga MX Femenil club CF Pachuca and the Mexico women's national team. She has previously played for Atlético Madrid in Spain, for Merilappi United in Finland and for the University of Louisville's college soccer team in the United States.

Club career

After scoring 23 goals for Levante in her debut 2015–16 season, Corral signed a one-year extension to her contract with the Spanish club.[3] She had been named in the Primera División's Team of the Season.[4] She left the side in 2019.[5]

International career

Corral made her debut for the Mexico U-21 team in 2006 at the age of 14. She was a member of the Mexico squad at the 2006, 2008 and 2010 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. In 2006, Corral was the top scorer at the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship. Corral earned her first cap for the Mexico women's national football team at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in a group stage match against New Zealand.[6]

Corral was selected to represent Mexico at the 2023 Pan American Games held in Santiago, Chile, where the Mexican squad went undefeated to won the gold medal for the first time in their history at the Pan American Games, defeating Chile 1–0.[7][8]

Personal life

Charlyn's brother George Corral is also an international footballer, who currently plays for Club Puebla.[9]

Controversies

On 19 June 2015, Corral was reported to have called for the replacement of Leonardo Cuéllar, long-time coach of the Mexico women's national team. Corral was not on the roster for the 2015 Pan American Games and the qualifying matches for the 2015 Women's World Cup.[10] Cuellar stepped down as coach in 2016 and in 2017 Corral was again selected for the roster of the national team.[11]
