AC MILAN PUT ON A SHOW: 6-3 AGAINST PINK BARI

The Rossonere move up to second place after their win at Vismara and a Giacinti hat-trick

A splendid sun shone over the Rossonere today at Vismara, going well together with a shining AC Milan performance as they put six past Pink Bari. A vital victory as Milan moved up to second in the standings with today’s 6-3 win on matchday nine of the Women’s Serie A, the Rossonere now level with Fiorentina on 29 points. Our girls put on a real show with a supreme second half, and it was Valentina Giacinti in particular who dominated proceedings with a superb hat-trick on the day. A flawless performance from the Milan captain as she also added another assist to her tally, really inspiring Milan as they ran riot in the second half at Vismara, HeroumJane and Thorvaldsdottir all also getting their names on the scoresheet. Although the attack were on top form, Milan’s defence would have been hoping for better, but Coach Ganz can be nothing but satisfied and full of confidence after what he saw on the pitch today. The Rossonere now turn their full attentions to the Derby, scheduled for Sunday 2 February at 12:30 CET at the Brianteo.
