ROSSONERE EARN A GOOD POINT AGAINST FIORENTINA: 2-2

Double advantage and double response. AC Milan and Fiorentina engaged in a lively and uncertain match at the PUMA House of Football, which ultimately ended in a draw: 2-2, on Matchday 15 of the Serie A Femminile. A draw - the sixth of the season -an overall positive match for Mister Corti's girls, who opened the scoring with Dubcová and the second goal scored by Stašková; in between, Janogy temporarily equalized before the final equalizer scored by the former AC Milan player Agard. Many chances and turnarounds in the first half, a slower pace, and less clarity in the second half. The Rossonere tried until the last moment to secure three points, leaving the field without any regret and aware of their qualities.

A victory would have been crucial for both teams, but the draw doesn't disappoint anyone. Among the highlights of the day was the fantastic debut from Nadia Nadim, as well as the spectacular debut from the newcomer Evelyn Ijeh. The golden moment of today's scorers continues, while Grimshaw provided her fourth assist in the league, equaling her personal record. To try to close the gap with Sassuolo and approach the placement in the Poule Scudetto, they will have to wait for the next match, to be played away and scheduled for the next league weekend. Before that, however, the Rossonere will have another home appointment against the Neroverdi, in the Quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia. Let’s go, girls!

MATCH REPORT
It was a determined and strong start for the Rossonere. The first chances came for Nadim (3') and Bergamaschi (5'), before AC Milan broke the deadlock on the quarter-of-an-hour mark: Baldi cleared Grimshaw's cross into the box, with Stašková picking up the ball and laying it off for Dubcová, who couldn't miss an open goal, 1-0. A minute later and Laurent created another chance to double the lead, but the French player's lob was just a bit too high over. Fiorentina reacted, and in the 21st minute were back on level terms as Janogy deflected Severini's cross-come-shot into the back of the net to make it 1-1. The tempo of the game slowed after the equaliser, but AC Milan know when to step it up and strike: in the 40th minute, Stašková turned well on the edge of the box and unleashed a powerful right-footed attempt to fire past Baldi, who had no chance: 2-1 at the break.

After the break, the visitors started the better, who after 50 minutes threatened through Hammarlund's attempt, with Giuliani putting it behind for a corner. The Rossonere defence failed to clear the corner away and Agard, from close-range, headed home to make it 2-2 on 51 minutes. With parity restored, the intensity levels in the game dropped once again, with chances lacking in the middle stages of the game. In the 71st minute, Ijeh tried her luck from distance without hitting the target. Many set-pieces followed, but with little composure. Attacking changes from both sides' head coaches tried to bring fresh legs and unsettle their respective oppositions and take home all three points. It wasn't for a lack of trying, but both sides struggled to cause any real trouble. It ended all square.
