WOMEN'S PRIMAVERA, A GREAT START

1-0, with Selimhodzic on the scoresheet. Things went well for Davide Corti’s Primavera side, who returned to the pitch for the first time in two weeks and recorded a precious victory in their quarter-final first-leg showdown away to Sassuolo. Noa continued her excellent goalscoring form: she’s now bagged in three consecutive matches and found the net six times in the space of 270 minutes.

Prior to yesterday’s match, the Emilians had only lost twice at home throughout the season, meaning it was always going to be a tough challenge. But the young Rossonere emerged victorious, thus building on their excellent run as they look to achieve a historic feat in their first-ever season.

Should the Women’s Primavera avoid defeat in the return leg at Vismara, where they haven’t lost this campaign (nine wins and two draws in eleven games), they’d progress to the Final Four, which will take place at the Tirrenia Olympic Training Centre in the space of a week. Indeed, the semi-finals will be played on 10 June and the Scudetto final two days after that.   

AC Milan’s win wasn’t the only away victory in the first-leg quarter-final matches: Roma beat Hellas Verona 2-1, with the winner of that tie set to face either AC Milan or Sassuolo in the semis. As regards the other side of the draw, Juventus also emerged victorious on the road, defeating San Marino Academy 1-0. Inter, meanwhile, managed to get the better of Fiorentina on home turf (2-1).
