ROSSONERE DEFEATED BY JUVENTUS
Women
Defeat for the Rossonere in the last round of the first half of the women's Serie A: at the Stadio Pozzo-Lamarmora in Biella, Juventus v AC Milan ended 3-0 for the Bianconere, who led the match with two goals in the first 9 minutes of the game, making the contest a comfortable one for them. Bakker's team tried to react, building a few chances, but at the beginning of the second half the Bianconere - now firmly in command of the standings - clinched the game with the third goal.
An excessively punitive result for the Rossonere, who never gave up playing their football that had been worth a series of convincing results and good performances in the previous days. Of note was the important return, after the injury in Rome, of Chanté Dompig (who played a fine second half) and the league debut of Erin Cesarini, who had made her first-team debut in the Coppa Italia match against Freedom. The championship continues, the race to the Poule Scudetto will resume next weekend when we will host Como at the PUMA House of Football: come on girls!

MATCH REPORT
The hosts led the match at the first opportunity: 5 minutes in there was a header by Girelli, unsavable for Giuliani. Soffia answered by a nice run, her shot wide by a little. A new attack by the Bianconere concluded witht the second goal this time with Caruso, who scored after 9 minutes with a tap-in after a first attempt was rejected by Giuliani. After a complicated 15 minutes, the Rossoneri regrouped and in the 18th minute Stokić took off on the left, but her shot ended up missing the target. In the 21st minute Nadim tried, again from the left, but her cross did not find any team-mates. Encouraged, Ijeh tested Peyraud-Magnin's reaction with a shot from the edge of the box in the 22nd minute. Minutes of possession by the two teams with few chances followed, apart from a shot hitting the post by Cantore in the 41st minute from in front of Giuliani.
The restart was followed by two changes: Mesjasz for Mascarello and Dompig for Stokić. The Rossonere tried to get forward, but Juve scored again in the second half when Cantore beat Giuliani in the 53rd minute. Shot on target after 59 minutes for Dompig, anticipated at the last moment by Peyraud-Magnin. Prolonged action in the 66th minute, capped by a shot from 25 metres by Ijeh that finished over the crossbar. The Rossonere didn't give up, and in the 80th minute Dompig completed a beautiful triangle in the area, forcing the opponent's goalkeeper to a rather difficult save. Cesarini tried a free kick in the 87th minute, but the attempt was too central. The last shot came in added time, a high header from Karczewska. Final whistle.
