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.[4] She had been named in the Primera División's Team of the Season.[5] She left the side in 2019.[6]

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.

Controversies
On June 19, 2015 Corral was reported to have called for the replacement of Leonardo Cuellar, 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.[9] Cuellar stepped down as coach in 2016 and in 2017 Corral was again selected for the roster of the national team.[10]
