Twenty-sixth appointment with “Macché te lo guardi?”, the weekly column by Calciostyle dedicated to the 2024/2025 Serie A women’s championship.

The women’s football movement in Italy in recent years is gaining more and more space, attracting the interest of millions of fans who live the sport in our dear Boot. Despite there still being a vast majority of people who “snub” this category, in recent seasons there have been several events and facts that have elevated women’s football to a very high level.

We cannot overlook the transition to professionalism (1st July 2022) and achieving milestones that until a few years ago were unthinkable, such as reaching the quota of 40 thousand spectators for a single match.

Compared to other European countries (Spain and England above all), the difference in audience and interest surrounding women’s football is, to quote a famous Roman expression, “still a dear friend,” meaning very wide.

Also taking advantage of the irreverence of the title of the column “Macché, te lo guardi?”, we want to shed further light on a reality that is increasingly taking hold in our beloved country: women’s football. Because in the end, we Italians are only interested in watching and commenting on the game of football, regardless of who is playing.

Women’s Serie A, the eighth round of Poule Scudetto and Poule Salvezza

The end of the 2024/2025 Women’s Serie A championship is drawing closer. In the last round, several outcomes were decided, such as the victory of Tricolore of Juventus and the historic qualification of Inter in the Champions League, which diverted attention slightly from the relegation battle in this round of Poule Salvezza between Napoli and Sampdoria. The Neapolitans emerged victorious and, with two rounds to go, are clearly securing their place in Serie A. In the other match, Lazio crushed Como thanks to a superb performance by Le Bihan, who scored a hat-trick to defeat the team from Como.

In the Poule Scudetto, after celebrating their sixth Tricolore in history, Juventus fell at home to Fiorentina, while in the Milan derby, Piovani‘s girls scored four goals, adding the icing on the cake called Women’s Champions League.

Poule Salvezza

Le Bihan show: Lazio strolls past Como

Como – Lazio 0 – 4

27′, 42′, 49′ Le Bihan (L), 76′ Piemonte (L)

The Lazio team coached by Grassadonia secured their fourth consecutive victory with a resounding 0-4 win away at Como. The standout performer of the match was the number 11 for Lazio, Le Bihan, who scored three goals that sealed the game in just 50 minutes.

The match started with Como coming close to scoring first. From a corner kick, Rizzon directed the ball towards the goal, but it was cleared off the line by Benoit. After this early scare, the home team completely capitulated to Lazio, who took control and broke the deadlock just before the half-hour mark with a goal from Le Bihan.

A cross from the left-wing by Benoit found the number 11 in the penalty area, who headed the ball past the opposing goalkeeper with a brilliant header that nestled into the far corner. The French striker was in exceptional form and added another goal just a few minutes before the end of the first half.

A reckless and naive foul by Marcussen on Piemonte resulted in a penalty, which was confidently converted by Le Bihan, despite not striking the ball cleanly.

Como was nowhere to be seen on the field. In the second half, Lazio continued their shooting practice against Gilardi, the Como goalkeeper. The standout player was undoubtedly Le Bihan, who scored a spectacular long-range goal, completing her hat-trick with a delicate lob from thirty meters that caught Gilardi off guard, virtually ending the match.

Piemonte, the second-highest goal scorer in the Serie A with 15 goals, sealed the comprehensive victory for Lazio with a precise curling shot that nestled into the far corner, leaving no chance for the Como goalkeeper. This win was crucial for Lazio as they prepared to secure the top spot in the Poule Salvezza and return to the top flight. It was the second consecutive defeat for Como.

Napoli clinches the relegation battle: Barbieri condemns Sampdoria

Napoli – Sampdoria 2 – 1

10′ Llopis (S), 24′ Giordano (N), 58′ Bellucci (N)

Napoli emerged victorious in the relegation battle against Sampdoria and took a significant step towards securing their place in the top flight. The defeat leaves Sampdoria four points adrift of safety with two matches remaining.

It was the visitors who started brightly, finding the opening goal with Llopis on their first foray into the Napoli penalty area. From a corner kick, a scramble in the box saw the Sampdoria forward quickest to the loose ball, which she dispatched past Bacic with a precise right-footed finish.

Napoli responded quickly and leveled the score at 24 minutes through Giordano. The former player made a darting run from the left side, cut inside to beat Bertucci, and unleashed a powerful right-footed shot from an acute angle that beat Larsen and nestled under the crossbar. Napoli looked more dominant and came close to taking the lead just before halftime with a long-range effort from Banusic. After a great nutmeg on Barbieri, Banusic attempted a shot from 40 meters in an attempt to catch Larsen off guard, but the ball narrowly missed the target.

The decisive goal came just before the hour mark. Sampdoria made a glaring error in their build-up play, with Barbieri gifting the ball to Bellucci on the edge of the box, who gratefully accepted the gift, controlled the ball, and fired past the Sampdoria goalkeeper.

Sampdoria had a chance to equalize in the 85th minute through Baldi. A long pass intercepted by the Napoli defense inadvertently fell to Baldi, who took a clear shot in the penalty area, hitting the crossbar. This missed opportunity ended any hopes of a comeback for Sampdoria, who are likely to bid farewell to the top flight at the end of the season unless there are miraculous turnarounds.

Poule Scudetto

Janogy leads Fiorentina: Champions League qualification still open

Fiorentina – Juventus 3 – 1

9′, 81′ Janogy (F), 25′ Severini (F), 90+1′ Godo (J)

Fiorentina under De La Fuente returned to winning ways after two heavy defeats against Roma and Milan. At the Viola Park, they faced a Juventus team fresh off winning the Tricolore, with coach Canzi giving playing time to those who had played less during the season.

Fiorentina started strong with Bonfantini hitting the crossbar just four minutes into the game from close range. The Viola were rampant and shortly after, Janogy converted a counterattack: a solo effort from the number 9 who ran the length of the field, entered the penalty area, and tested Proulx with a low shot. From the resulting corner, the home team took the lead through Janogy.

A corner from the left by Bredgaard found the Swedish striker unmarked at the back post, where she evaded her marker and slotted home past the Juventus goalkeeper. Fiorentina continued to create dangerous opportunities and doubled their lead at 25 minutes. Bredgaard went one-on-one against Thomas in the penalty area, with the Juventus defender bringing her down, resulting in a penalty.

Severini stepped up and calmly converted the spot-kick to beat Proulx.

In the second half, Juventus came out with renewed vigor and started to pose more threats to Durante. The Bianconere pushed forward but were denied first by the woodwork from a personal effort by Kullberg and then by Durante in inspired form. The Fiorentina goalkeeper made at least four crucial saves that prevented Juventus from getting back into the game.

Fiorentina struck again, this time through Janogy on another corner. This time from the right side, the result was the same. A corner delivered to the back post, Proulx came out but missed the ball, allowing the Swedish striker to score into an empty net, virtually sealing the match.

Juventus got a consolation goal in stoppage time. After Durante saved a close-range shot from Bonansea, the rebound fell to Godo, who scored from close range, making the defeat less bitter for the Bianconere.

This win was crucial for Fiorentina as they closed the gap on Roma, who were resting, with two matches remaining and a direct clash against the Giallorosse scheduled for the final match of the season. The qualification for the Champions League will depend significantly on the home game against Roma under Spugna.

Nerazzurri score four in derby: after Champions League qualification, comes the icing on the cake

Milan – Inter 1 – 4

8′ Milinkovic (I), 27′ Dompig (M), 59′ Polli (I), 85′, 90+1′ Wullaert (I)

At the Puma House of Football, two in-form teams faced off. On one side, Milan had a very positive Poule Scudetto, achieving several successes, while on the other side, an Inter side galvanized by their historic qualification for the Women’s Champions League.

Inter took the lead early with a tap-in goal from Milinkovic. A cross from the left found Polli unmarked, who struck the ball towards goal. A superb reflex save by Fedele left the ball loose in the area, where the Inter defender was quickest to react and scored from close range.

Milan responded quickly and leveled the derby at 27 minutes through Dompig. The striker, teed up at the edge of the box, cut inside, and unleashed a shot that struck the hand of Merlo, resulting in a penalty for the home team. Dompig stepped up and converted from the spot with a composed finish.

The balanced first half gave way to a second half dominated by Inter. At the hour mark, Polli restored Inter’s lead with a fantastic goal. The forward, wearing number 9, single-handedly inspired the team with a brilliant solo goal: a slalom run to evade two defenders and a low shot to beat Fedele as she came out. From that moment, Milan mentally collapsed, leaving spaces for their opponents.

In the final minutes, taking advantage of these defensive gaps, Inter ran riot with a double from Wullaert. At the 85th minute, Detruyer crossed for Wullaert at the center, who volleyed with her left foot to beat Fedele. Six minutes later, the Belgian sealed the game with a close-range finish into an empty net after an excellent assist, her second of the day, from Detruyer.

It was a bitter defeat for Milan, who bid farewell to their fans with a loss, their first in a derby. In fact, in the three previous derbies this season, all three had ended in draws. On the other hand, Inter celebrated their Women’s Champions League qualification with a resounding victory.

“Don’t you watch it?” – Recap of the 3rd round – Soccer style

Published

By

The weekly appointment with "Macché te lo guardi?" is back, the column by Calciostyle dedicated to the Serie A Women’s Championship 2025/2026. Here is the third matchday!

The women’s football movement in Italy has been gaining more and more attention in recent years, attracting the interest of millions of fans who follow the sport in our beloved Boot. Despite there still being a vast majority of people who "snub" this category, in recent seasons there have been several events and achievements that have elevated women’s football to a very high level.

We cannot ignore the transition to professionalism (July 1, 2022) and reaching milestones that were unthinkable just a few years ago, such as attracting 40,000 spectators to a single match.

Compared to other European countries (especially Spain and England), the difference in audience and interest surrounding women’s football is still significant. The performances of the Italian National Team (reaching the semifinals) at the European Championship in Switzerland this summer certainly brought a lot of attention to the entire movement, but there is still a long way to go to give the right spotlight to the Italian championship.

Taking advantage of the irreverence of the column title "Macché, te lo guardi?", we want to shed further light on a reality that is gaining more and more ground in our beloved country: women’s football. Because in the end, we Italians are only interested in watching and being able to comment on the game of football, regardless of who is playing.

Serie A Women, the third matchday

The third matchday of Serie A Women has concluded. A round filled with many firsts: Genoa, in front of their fans, secures the joy of their first historic victory in the top league by defeating Ternana, the only team still at zero points in the standings. Sassuolo and Juventus also secure their first league wins. The 2005 class Eto and the ’90 class Girelli decide the matches against Como and Lazio, respectively.

At the top of the standings flies Roma by Rossettini, who defeats Napoli away with the league’s top scorer Corelli, author of the decisive brace. A goal fest at Viola Park between Fiorentina and Milan with Pinones Arce’s girls clinching an important victory in the final seconds.

It’s the second consecutive draw for Inter by Piovani, as they settle for a 0-0 against Parma.

Historic first win for Genoa in Serie A!

Genoa – Ternana 3 – 1

  • 31′ Hilaj (G), 35′ Pellegrino (T), 66′ Lipman (G), 69′ Monterubbiano (G)

    The Genoa secures their first historic victory in the top league. In front of their fans, the Grifone triumphs over the other promoted team Ternana. The first half at La Sciorba is lively, with the visitors starting strong and putting the Rossoblù defense under pressure. At the 28th minute, Ternana takes the lead with Pellegrino Cimò, but the goal is disallowed due to an offside position.

    Aware of the scare, Genoa pushes forward and breaks the deadlock at the 31st minute. A scramble in the penalty area after a free kick, with Hilaj making the most of the loose ball and scoring. Ternana’s response and any offensive attempts rely on Pellegrino Cimò. The former Samp player, played into space, unleashes a powerful shot under the bar, restoring parity after less than 4 minutes.

    The second half sees the 2006 class trying to score again. The Ternana, however, capitulates shortly after the hour mark, conceding two goals to Genoa. In this early part of the season, the Achilles’ heel of Cincotta’s team is set pieces, particularly corners.

    The one-two punch from Genoa capitalizes on this crucial aspect. First Lipman and then Monterubbiano take advantage of the guest defense’s lapses, virtually sealing the match.

    The newly promoted Ternana remains without points. A fundamental victory for the Grifone.

    The 2005 class Eto gifts Sassuolo their first three points

    Sassuolo – Como 1 – 0

  • 12′ Eto (S)

    The Sassuolo, coached by Mister Spugna, secures their first league victory at home against Como, who were coming off a surprising win against Juventus. A very entertaining and lively match with the home team immediately seeking the lead.

    The spotlight is stolen by the young 2005 class Eto, a former PSG player. The Cameroonian forward opens a shooting contest that lasts the whole game against the Larian goalkeeper. Indeed, she scores the first strike of the match, as the Neroverdi approach the Como defense. From the resulting corner, Sassuolo takes the lead. A short corner finds Clelland on the flank, who crosses for Eto to head home unmarked in the center of the penalty area.

    The game continues in the same vein, with Sassuolo, especially Eto, creating chance after chance but failing to convert. Como tries, especially in the second half, but their lack of ruthlessness means they hardly trouble Durand.

    As the match nears its end, Como protests vehemently for a handball in the Sassuolo penalty area. Despite a review by the Football Video Support (FVS), the referee does not award the penalty, condemning the Larian team to their second defeat in three matchdays.

    Crazy match at Viola Park: Fiorentina clinches it in injury time

    Fiorentina – Milan 4 – 3

  • 26′ Severini (F); 32′, 77′ Renzotti (M), 37′ Soffia (M); 58′, 90+4′ Janogy (F), 90+7′ Tryggvadottir

    A match full of strong emotions at Viola Park between Fiorentina and Milan: 7 goals, chances on both sides, and a game decided in the dying moments. Everything happens at Pinones Arce’s stadium.

    To open the scoring, Severini converts a penalty won by Snerle. Fiorentina’s lead lasts only 5 minutes as Milan turns the game around. Renzotti levels the score at 32′ with a decisive strike from the penalty area, and Soffia makes it 2-1 for the Rossoneri with a clever touch from Kyvag’s backheel at 37′.

    The second half is played at the same frantic pace as the first. Fiorentina, just before the hour mark, equalizes with Janogy, skillfully heading in a corner. The Rossoneri, led by Renzotti, refuse to back down and take the lead again at 77′.

    The 3-2 scoreline seems to bury Fiorentina, but in injury time, the unthinkable happens. The duo Janogy-Tryggvadóttir carries the team on their shoulders, leading them to an unexpected victory just minutes before. The entire stadium erupts in joy as the Icelandic striker puts the ball into the net after getting past Giuliani at the 97th minute.

    Roma soars: Corelli top scorer and top of the table

    Napoli – Roma 1 – 3

  • 46′ Dragoni (R); 49′, 82′ Corelli (M), 90+1′ Vanmechelen

    A third consecutive victory in the league and top of the table. The Serie A season could not have started better for Roma by Rossettini, who, in their first top clash, beat Sassarini’s Napoli 3-1 at the Piccolo.

    A fairly tight first half gives way to a much livelier second half. Roma immediately takes the lead with Giulia Dragoni. Sgasata on the right by Bergamaschi, who enters the penalty area and serves the arrival of the 2006 class with a precise low shot into the far corner.

    With the game opened up, the Giallorosse gain confidence and just three minutes later, double their advantage. Corelli, sent through on goal, takes full advantage of the late Napoli defense with a powerful strike that Bacic can do nothing about.

    Roma, with a comfortable lead, manages the match, smoothly sailing towards the end. In the 82nd minute, the current league leaders also score a third, again through Corelli. The yellow-red striker is having a fantastic start to the season: 4 goals and 2 assists in three league games already.

    Napoli, with time running out, finds a consolation goal with a long-range strike from Vanmechelen that sneaks under the crossbar.

    Girelli gives Juventus their first win

    Lazio – Juventus 0 – 1

  • 86′ Girelli (J)

    A penalty kick from Girelli is enough for Juventus to return to victory and secure the first three points of the season. The match at Fersini in Formello pits two teams in completely different form states against each other. On one side, Lazio, coming off a blistering start to the season and unbeaten in 7 rounds. On the other, Juventus, the reigning Italian champions, still without a win after two matchdays (a first in Serie A history).

    The balanced first half offers opportunities for both sides: Juventus with Bonansea and Thomas, and Lazio with Piemonte forcing De Jong to make a superb save. In the second half, the game heats up, with both teams wasting chances. In Lazio, Goldoni and Piemonte miss the chance to take the lead, while in Juventus, in addition to Cascarino and Beccari, Girelli sees her goal denied by Durante’s lightning-fast reflexes.

    The turning point of the match arrives at the 84th minute. In a header in the Lazio penalty area, Goldoni touches the ball with her arm in an awkward manner, and the referee has no doubt in pointing to the penalty spot. Girelli steps up and converts, scoring Juventus’ first goal of the season and, more importantly, sealing the first three points of the season.

    Golden point for Parma in Milan: Inter and Parma settle for a 0-0 draw

    Inter – Parma 0 – 0

    It’s the second consecutive draw for Inter by Piovani, as they play out a dull 0-0 against the newly promoted Parma at the Arena Civica Gianni Brera. The home team dominates the game from the early minutes, but there are few opportunities in the first half to trouble Ceasar’s goal.

    In the second half, Inter tries more persistently, coming close to scoring with Glionna and Tomaselli in two chances. The former Roma winger hits the post with a sure shot before missing wide on the rebound. The midfielder, on an assist from Glionna, sends her effort wide from the center of the yellow-blue area. The balls rain down on the Parma goalkeeper, but never truly trouble her, thanks to an organized and compact Parma defense.

    A bitter draw for the Nerazzurre, who miss the opportunity to close the gap on Roma in the standings. A good draw for Parma, confirming their last-minute victory against Sassuolo in the previous round.

Disappointing home debut for Rossettini’s Roma. Defeated 0-4 against Barcelona’s aliens in a sold-out Tre Fontane.

Second matchday and second defeat for Roma under Rossettini in the Women’s Champions League. After facing Real Madrid a week ago, Roma welcomed the aliens from Barcelona. “Aliens” because they are not only one of the strongest, if not the strongest, teams in the world, but also had a superb start to the season.

Since the beginning of the 2025/2026 season, Barcelona has played 8 matches, winning all of them, scoring 44 goals and conceding only two. A true powerhouse, which also crushed the Giallorossa team in a completely sold-out Tre Fontane.

Despite a significant technical gap, Rossettini‘s girls managed to keep up with the Spanish team in the first half, ending the first half only one goal down, scored less than two minutes into the match. Roma played a defensive game, trying to limit Barcelona‘s constant passing game and exploiting their high defensive line for counterattacks.

The opportunity for an equalizer came to Viens, who faced the opposing goalkeeper one-on-one but was unable to score. In the second half, due to collective fatigue, Barcelona scored three more goals past Baldi‘s goal. The Spanish team also missed a penalty with former Ballon d’Or winner Putellas, who shot high.

Despite the differences on the field, there are positive aspects for coach Rossettini to take into account for the upcoming matches in the league and Champions League, where the opponents will be, at least on paper, more manageable and within reach.

Roma – Barcelona 0 – 4

(2′ Brugts, 58′ Nazareth, 71′ pen. Putellas, 90′ Hansen)
