Twenty-second appointment with “Macché te lo guardi?”, the weekly column of 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 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 facts that have elevated women’s football to a very high level.
We cannot overlook the transition to professionalism (July 1, 2022) and reaching milestones that until a few years ago seemed unthinkable, such as achieving a quota of 40,000 spectators for a single match.
In comparison with other European countries (Spain and England above all), the difference in terms of audience and interest surrounding women’s football is, using a popular Roman expression, “still a dear friend,” meaning very wide.
Also, leveraging the irreverence of the column’s title “Macché, te lo guardi?”, we want to shed further light on a reality that is increasingly gaining ground in our beloved country: women’s football. Ultimately, for us Italians, what matters is to watch and be able to comment on the game of football, regardless of who is playing.
Women’s Serie A, the fourth round of Scudetto and Relegation Pools
Fourth round of the Scudetto and Relegation Pools of the Women’s Serie A. Regarding the fight to avoid relegation, Lazio confirms itself as the most in-form team by beating Sassuolo 2-0, settling the matter within five minutes. Unlucky instead is Sampdoria, who only collects one point in the away match against Como after taking the lead twice. A victory would have changed the relegation race with Napoli.
In the Scudetto Pool, the happiest team of all is Juventus, even though they did not take the field. In fact, thanks to the defeats of Roma and Inter, in the next round, in case of a victory against the Nerazzurri and the simultaneous defeat of the Giallorosse, they would be mathematically champions. Roma and Inter thus fell in their respective away matches in Milan and Florence, reigniting the battle for the second place with Fiorentina now trailing by -4 from Piovani‘s team.
Relegation Pool
Lazio catches up with Como: a two-way challenge for the lead in the Relegation Pool
Sassuolo – Lazio 0 – 2
40′ Le Bihan (L), 45′ Goldoni (L)
Another great performance from Lazio under Grassadonia. After the setback in the direct clash for the lead in the Relegation Pool against Como, the Biancocelesti immediately bounce back by closing the match against Sassuolo in just 5 minutes.
However, it is the Neroverdi who start strong and scare Cetinja‘s goal with a header. First Clelland, then the crossbar struck by Dhont
After the scare, Grassadonia’s team picks up the pace and within 5 minutes delivers a heavy one-two punch to the home side. Simonetti serves Oliviero in depth with a well-placed pass, who enters the box and from a tight angle unleashes a powerful left-footed shot that Lonni has to stretch to save. On the rebound, the quickest is Le Bihan, who doesn’t miss from a few steps away. Sassuolo succumbs to the blow and seconds before the end of the first half also concedes the second goal. A great team play from Lazio to overcome the opponent’s high press with Le Bihan once again in the spotlight. The Biancoceleste number 11, perfectly liberated, sends a venomous cross into the box intercepted by Goldoni, who takes advantage of a completely erroneous exit by Lonni to score the most predictable of goals. In the second half, Sassuolo tries to reopen the match, but once again the crossbar blocks the Neroverdi, unable to continuously threaten the Biancoceleste defense. Important victory for Lazio as they catch up with Como in the standings. Second consecutive defeat for Sassuolo, who no longer have anything to ask of the championship, given their significant advantage over Napoli and Sampdoria. Como – Sampdoria 2 – 2 13′ Burbassi (S), 36′ Nischler (C), 56′ Re (S), 90+3′ Bolden (C) Sampdoria wastes a golden opportunity in the race to stay in Serie A. The Doriane are caught at the last second, leaving two very important points on the table for overtaking Napoli, the only other team in the relegation battle. Straight from the start, Como scares the Blucerchiati with a crossbar hit by Del Estal from close range. Guagni misses wide and puts it on the near post for the Spanish forward, who misses the goal-scoring opportunity. A missed goal leads to a conceded goal: the harsh goal law hits the Lariane. Not even a minute after Del Estal‘s crossbar hit, Sampdoria takes the lead with Burbassi‘s first goal in Serie A. The Doria winger is found inside the box by Llopis with a sweet pass. Chest control and a shot across goal to beat Gilardi in the bottom corner. Como’s response is quick, and shortly after the half-hour mark, after hitting the crossbar again, they find the equalizer with Nischler. Guagni penetrates on the wing and puts it in the middle, Del Estal intercepts enough to get the ball to the onrushing number 7 from Como who doesn’t miss the golden opportunity. Sampdoria appears more eager and determined to find the three points, the seconds of the whole season. At the start of the second half, the Blucerchiata team once again takes the lead with Re. Bertucci breaks through on the right and puts in a precise cross for the player’s head, who perfectly heads into the net from the penalty spot. Samp believes and comes within seconds of achieving a historic victory. However, fate is cruel to the Doriane, and Como finds an unexpected equalizer in the dying seconds of stoppage time. A free-kick from the flank into the middle, a scramble in the penalty area where Bolden is the quickest to strike and avoid a heavy defeat. Como is caught in the standings by Lazio, victorious away against Sassuolo. Bitterness for Sampdoria, who squander a great opportunity to overtake Napoli. Resting: Napoli Milan – Roma 3 – 1 4′ Viens (R), 28′ Ijeh (M), 62′ Dompig (M), 90+5′ Arrigoni (M) Another fall for Roma under coach Spugna. A very lackluster performance from the Giallorosse, who with the defeat at the Puma House of Football and the simultaneous victory of Fiorentina over Inter, reopen the battle for the second place, which secures access to the next edition of the Champions League, avoiding the second qualifying round. Perfect start for the Italian champions who open the scoring in the 4th minute with Viens. Thogersen misses on the right and puts it in the middle, the Rossoneri defense makes a mistake and intercepts poorly, serving the Canadian forward who beats Giuliani with a powerful right into the near post. Roma retreats, and around the half-hour mark, they concede the equalizer to Ijeh. The Rossoneri striker makes the most of a deflection in the Giallorossa box, sending the ball into the top corner with a precise curling shot. The Giallorosse feel the blow and fail to find solutions in the offensive phase. At the hour mark, Milan turns the game around with a great individual goal from Dompig. The number 99 goes solo, starting from the right and cutting inside, unleashing a powerful right that sneaks in by the post. No chance for Kresche, who shortly after had to leave the field due to a hip problem: Ceasar came on in her place. To seal the match in the 90th minute is Arrigoni with a sensational long-range strike. The Rossoneri midfielder unleashes a thunderbolt from a vast distance that finds the top corner, leaving no chance for the Giallorossa goalkeeper. The usual lack of cynicism in front of goal condemns Spugna’s team to their fifth defeat in the league, reopening the battle for second place in the standings. An extremely important victory for Milan, which, as mentioned earlier, rekindles hopes of qualifying for the next edition of the Women’s Champions League. Fiorentina – Inter 1 – 0 48′ Bonfantini (F) Fiorentina, after the victory in the previous round against Juventus, confirms their excellent form by securing all three points against Inter under Piovani. De La Fuente‘s team reopens the battle for second place, narrowing the gap to -4 with the Nerazzurri and -3 from Roma, the Viola’s next opponent in the league. However, the first half is all in Nerazzurri colors, with the Viola closing ranks to defend the goal protected by Fiskerstrand. First Detruyer, who hits the crossbar from outside the box, and then Cambiaghi, with a shot just wide, give the Fiorentina defense several scares, risking to break the wall numerous times. The only noteworthy action by Viola comes at the 45th minute, and it is the most important and clear-cut chance of the first half at the Viola Park. Bonfantini rushes into the box and is fouled by Andres, with no doubts from the referee who awards the penalty. Boquete steps up from the spot but is hypnotized by the Nerazzurri goalkeeper. The missed opportunity doesn’t discourage De La Fuente‘s side, who find the lead early in the second half again through Bonfantini. After Bredgaard hits a thunderous crossbar from the right, the former Juventus player is quickest on the rebound, beating Runarsdottir. In the second half, Inter attempts but without much focus, letting the clock run down and failing to take advantage of the opportunity to narrow the gap on the Vecchia Signora once again. Resting: Juventus
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.
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.
Genoa – Ternana 3 – 1 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.
Sassuolo – Como 1 – 0 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.
Fiorentina – Milan 4 – 3 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.
Napoli – Roma 1 – 3 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.
Lazio – Juventus 0 – 1 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.
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. ROMA FEMMINILE FORMATION (PHOTO BY SALVATORE FORNELLI)
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)
