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

The women’s football movement in Italy in recent years has been gaining more and more space, attracting the interest of millions of fans who experience 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 various events and facts that have brought women’s football to a very high level.

We cannot fail to mention the transition to professionalism (July 1, 2022), reaching milestones that until a few years ago were unthinkable, such as reaching an audience of 40,000 spectators for a single match.

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

By also exploiting 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, what matters to us Italians is only to watch and be able to comment on the game of football, regardless of who plays it.

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

We are getting closer to the end of the Serie A women’s championship. In the just concluded weekend, the sixth round of the top-tier championship took place, divided into Poule Scudetto and Poule Salvezza. Regarding the relegation zone, Sampdoria and Napoli fall again to Lazio and Sassuolo, postponing to the direct clash between the two teams the definitive step for staying in Serie A. The Biancocelesti return to the top of the Poule Salvezza, waiting for Como, who will face Sassuolo next week.

As for the Poule Scudetto, Juventus takes a step towards the Tricolore, beating Roma away in the general rehearsal for the Coppa Italia final, scheduled for May 17 in Como. A heavy defeat for the Giallorosse, who remain in third place in the standings, just one point behind Inter, the next opponents of the Giallorosse.

Milan overwhelms Fiorentina, with Ijeh’s outstanding performance. The hat-trick by Janogy for Fiorentina is useless in terms of the result.

## Poule Salvezza

### Lazio forces 3: everything is decided in 12 minutes

Sampdoria – Lazio 0 – 3

52′ Le Bihan (L), 61′ Visentin (L), 64′ Simonetti (L)

The Lazio team had an easy game at Sciorba in the match valid for the sixth round of Poule Salvezza against Sampdoria, who are in a tough battle for survival in Serie A. In the first half, the Biancocelesti threatened the Blucerchiati’s defense in the 24th minute with a free-kick by Simonetti. A direct free-kick just inside the penalty area with the number 20 midfielder hitting an incredible crossbar, with the ball bouncing out.

After a blocked first half, Lazio went on a rampage in the second half, closing the game against Sampdoria in just 12 minutes. A few minutes after entering the penalty area, Simonetti passed to Le Bihan, who scored a perfect goal in the top corner of the Sampdoria goal. 9 minutes later, Lazio found the second goal thanks to Visentin’s seventh goal of the season. Le Bihan passed to Goldoni on the outside, who immediately crossed for the perfect run of the number 99 Biancoceleste, who did not miss from a few steps away.

Sampdoria completely collapsed and three minutes later conceded a penalty that sealed the game. Panzeri fouled a determined Visentin in the penalty area, leaving no doubts for the referee. From the penalty spot, Simonetti disoriented Larsen with a powerful right foot.

An important victory for Lazio, who temporarily catch up with Como at the top of the Poule Salvezza standings. Sampdoria will play their relegation fate in a direct clash with Napoli.

### Napoli believes but it’s not enough: Dhont and the post condemn the Neapolitans

Napoli – Sassuolo 0 – 1

76′ Dhont (S)

A relentless and attentive Napoli falls at home to Sassuolo by a narrow 0-1 scoreline. The Neapolitans tried several times in both the first and second halves but were thwarted by the wall built by the Neroverde goalkeeper Durand. The goal that decided the match came in the 76th minute: Philtejens sprinted down the left side, sending a precise cross to Dhont’s head. The striker rose above everyone else and headed the ball into the near post, beating Bacic.

Napoli had a chance in full recovery time with Moretti. A quick counterattack with Sciabica skipping the first pressure and playing a vertical ball to number 28, who entered the penalty area and took a powerful shot that hit the post, shattering all hopes of Napoli, inches away from securing an important point in the relegation battle.

Despite having nothing more to ask from the championship, Sassuolo secured their second consecutive victory, the fourth in the last 6 games.

## Poule Scudetto

### Milan unleashed: Ijeh overwhelms the Viola

22′, 28′ Ijeh (M), 44′, 63′, 82′ Janogy (F), 48′ Arrigoni (M), 53′ Renzotti (M), 61′ Koivisto (M)

An unleashed Milan beat a Fiorentina side that is far from the European zone. The Rossoneri closed the gap in the standings on De La Fuente’s team, who appeared completely at the mercy of the Rossoneri’s assaults.

The spotlight was on Ijeh, who, within 6 minutes, put Milan ahead with a beautiful brace. In the 22nd minute, Mascarello created space in the penalty area with an illuminating pass to the 2001-born striker, who was cold-blooded in front of Fiskerstrand and didn’t miss. The Swedish forward’s personal brace, which marked her tenth goal of the season, was a sight to behold. A deadly one-two with Dompig in the penalty area saw Ijeh deceive Faerge with a spectacular roulette, followed by a powerful right foot shot that the Viola goalkeeper couldn’t stop.

Milan dominated, but a minute before the end of the first half, they conceded a goal that halved their advantage. A defensive error by the Rossoneri allowed Fiorentina to capitalize. Bonfantini immediately served Janogy on the offside line, and she scored with a sure shot.

However, the 2-1 lead lasted very little. Bakker’s girls returned to the field hungry and closed the deal in 5 minutes. In the 48th minute, Arrigoni attempted a cross from the left that Pedersen’s head redirected. The trajectory rose and incredibly deceived Fiskerstrand. Arrigoni once again proved to be Fiorentina’s favorite victim, scoring 6 goals in as many matches against the Viola.

In the 53rd minute, Renzotti scored her first goal as a professional. The young striker’s central run saw her bypass the Viola goalkeeper and, by slightly lifting the shot, she managed to beat the defense’s last-ditch attempt to save the ball, finding her first personal joy.

The final blow came shortly after. In the 61st minute, Koivisto made the most of Arrigoni’s flick in the penalty area and didn’t miss from close range. Fiorentina tried to get back into the match with Janogy, the only one in form for the Viola. However, her next two goals were inconsequential, and the match ended with a 5-3 scoreline in favor of Milan.

### Godo/Cantore decide it: Juventus one step away from the Tricolore

Roma – Juventus 1 – 2

9′ Godo (J), 31′ Cantore (J), 83′ Giacinti (R)

Juventus is getting closer to the conquest of the Tricolore, which has been missing for two years. The Bianconere, away against Roma, had a voracious start, typical of those who know that the final goal is very close. Before the fans could even settle in the stands at the Tre Fontane, the Vecchia Signora found themselves face to face with Ceasar, the Roma goalkeeper.

Cantore dashed down the left, beating Linari in speed and delivering a cross to the unmarked Brighton, who incredibly missed from a few steps away. It was just a warning for Roma’s defense, which had to capitulate as early as the 9th minute. Girelli served Godo at the edge of the penalty area, who moved to the center-right and, seeing the lack of marking from the Giallorosse, had all the time to coordinate herself and launch a precise curling shot into the far post, baffling Ceasar and giving the Bianconere the lead.

Roma was not present on the field and, due to several mistakes in the build-up play, offered many counterattacks to Mister Canzi’s team. It was on one of these “horror” mistakes that Juventus scored the second goal through Cantore. The Bianconeri forward intercepted the ball from Linari’s control and, face to face with the Roma goalkeeper, did not miss, putting a significant mark on the match early in the first half.

In the second half, the situation remained the same, with a Roma side lacking the courage to face Juventus’ defense and a Juve side in ordinary management.

The changes made by Mister Spugna gave the required push, and the Giallorosse began to create chances against Peyraud-Magnin. In the 83rd minute, Roma unexpectedly found a goal with Giacinti. The Italian forward made the most of Troelsgaard’s deep pass and didn’t miss in front of the Bianconeri goalkeeper, reopening the game.

The match, however, ended with a 1-2 scoreline in favor of the Bianconere. Indeed, the late surge from Spugna’s girls failed to have an impact, with the best opportunity coming seconds before the end with the Glionna-Corelli duo, who both entered as substitutes. A defensive error from Juventus saw Glionna in an ideal position but she preferred to backheel the ball to her teammate, who shot wide.

An extremely important victory for Juventus, who can finally celebrate the Tricolore from the next match onwards, never in doubt. The Giallorosse will be engaged in the other Poule Scudetto match against Inter for the second position.

Next round:

Friday, April 18
Juventus 17:30 Milan
Lazio 19:30 Napoli

Saturday, April 19
Sassuolo 12:30 Como
Inter 15:00 Roma

Fiorentina and Sampdoria rest.

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
