Twenty-fourth 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 the sport in our beloved country. 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 ignore the move to professionalism (July 1, 2022) and 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 in women’s football is, to quote a famous Roman expression, “still a dear friend,” meaning very significant.

By also exploiting 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. Because in the end, us Italians are only interested in watching and being able to comment on the game, regardless of who is playing.

Women’s Serie A, the sixth round of Scudetto and Relegation Pool

We are getting closer to the end of the Women’s Serie A. This past weekend saw the sixth round of the top-flight championship, divided into Scudetto Pool and Relegation Pool. Regarding the relegation zone, Sampdoria and Napoli once again fall to Lazio and Sassuolo, postponing the direct clash between the two teams for the definitive step towards remaining in Serie A. The Biancocelesti return to the top of the Relegation Pool, awaiting Como, who will face Sassuolo next week.

As for the Scudetto Pool, Juventus takes a step towards the Tricolore, defeating Roma away in a 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, who will be the next opponents of the Giallorosse.

Milan overwhelms Fiorentina with a rampant Ijeh. The hat-trick by Janogy for Viola is useless in terms of the result.

Relegation Pool

Lazio show all their strength in 12 minutes

Sampdoria – Lazio 0 – 3

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

It’s all too easy for Lazio at Sciorba in the match valid for the sixth round of the Relegation Pool against Sampdoria, who are in a fierce battle to stay in Serie A. In the first half, the Biancocelesti scare the Blucerchiati defense in the 24th minute with a brilliant free-kick by Simonetti. A set-piece at the edge of the box where the number 20 midfielder hits an incredible crossbar, with the ball bouncing out.

After a blocked first half, Grassadonia’s team dominates in the second half, closing the Sampdoria case in just 12 minutes of play. A direct free-kick just inside the box: Simonetti touches the ball for Le Bihan‘s powerful right-footed shot that finds the top corner of the Blucerchiati goal perfectly. Nine minutes later, Lazio doubles the lead thanks to the seventh goal of the season by Visentin. Le Bihan serves Goldoni on the wing, who immediately plays it inside for the perfect run of the number 99 Biancoceleste, who doesn’t miss from close range.

Sampdoria completely collapses, and three minutes later, they concede the penalty that seals the game. Panzeri fouls a rampant Visentin in the box, leaving no doubts for the referee. From the spot, Simonetti steps up and beats Larsen with a powerful right-footed shot.

An important victory for Lazio, who temporarily equals Como at the top of the Relegation Pool standings. Sampdoria will play for their survival 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)

An aggressive and attentive Napoli falls at home to Sassuolo by a narrow 0-1 margin. The Neapolitans try several times in both the first and second half but are thwarted by the wall put up by the Neroverde goalkeeper Durand. The decisive goal comes at the 76th minute: Philtejens breaks away on the left, delivering a precise cross to Dhont‘s head. The striker rises above everyone to head home at the near post, beating Bacic.

Napoli have a chance in stoppage time with Moretti. A quick counterattack with Sciabica bypassing the first press and playing a through ball for number 28, who enters the box and unleashes a powerful right-footed shot that hits the outside post, shattering all hopes of Napoli, just centimeters away from taking home an important point in the relegation battle.

Sassuolo, despite having nothing more to ask from the championship, secures their second consecutive victory, the fourth in the last 6 matches.

Scudetto Pool

Milan unleashed: Ijeh strikes against the Viola

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

A rampant Milan overwhelms a Fiorentina team now far from the Europa zone. The Rossonere close the gap in the standings with De La Fuente‘s side, which appeared totally at the mercy of the Rossonere’s raids.

Ijeh takes center stage, scoring a beautiful brace in 6 minutes to put Milan ahead. In the 22nd minute, Mascarello creates space in the penalty area with an illuminating pass for the 2001-born striker, who remains composed in front of Fiskerstrand and slots it home. The Swedish forward’s personal brace, her tenth goal of the season, is a treat for the eyes. A deadly one-two with Dompig in the box, where Ijeh beats Faerge with a spectacular move, followed by a powerful shot that the Viola goalkeeper can’t stop.

Milan dominates, but a minute before the end of the first half, they concede a goal that halves the lead. A defensive error by the Rossoneri with Fedele misplacing the clearance and gifting the ball to Fiorentina. Bonfantini immediately finds Janogy onside, who scores confidently from close range.

However, the 2-1 lead lasts very briefly. Bakker’s players return hungry in the second half and close the game in 5 minutes. In the 48th minute, Arrigoni attempts a seemingly harmless cross from the left, deflected by Pedersen‘s head. The trajectory rises and incredibly beats Fiskerstrand. Arrigoni continues to be Fiorentina‘s favorite victim with 6 goals in as many matches.

In the 53rd minute, there’s also room for the first professional goal for Renzotti. The young forward dribbles past the Viola goalkeeper and slightly lifts the shot, overcoming the last-ditch attempt of the defense to clear and finding her first personal joy.

The final blow arrives shortly after. In the 61st minute, Koivisto makes the most of Arrigoni‘s layoff in the box and scores from close range. Fiorentina tries to get back into the game with Janogy, the only one in form for the Viola. Despite her subsequent two goals, the match ends with a 5-3 victory.

Godò/Cantore decide it: Bianconere on the brink of the Tricolore

Roma – Juventus 1 – 2

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

Juventus inches closer to the conquest of the Tricolore, missing for the past two years. The Bianconere, playing away at Roma, have a ravenous start, knowing that the final goal is very close. Barely enough time to settle in the stands at Tre Fontane before the Vecchia Signora finds themselves one-on-one with Ceasar, the Roma goalkeeper.

Cantore charges down the left, outrunning Linari and delivering a cross to Brighton in the middle, who inexplicably puts it wide from close range. It’s just a warning to the Roma defense, who must capitulate already in the 9th minute. Girelli sets up Godo at the edge of the box, who shifts to the center-right and, seeing the lack of marking from the Giallorosse, takes his time to aim and curls a precise shot into the far corner, beating Ceasar and giving the Bianconere the lead.

Roma is absent on the field and, due to several mistakes in the build-up, gives away numerous counterattacks to coach Canzi‘s girls. It’s one of these “horrors” that leads to the second blow from the Juve courtesy of Cantore. The Bianconeri forward steals the ball from Linari and, one-on-one with the Roma goalkeeper, doesn’t miss, putting a virtual lock on the match in the first half.

In the second half, the story remains the same with a Roma side too timid to challenge the Bianconeri defense and a Juve side in control.

Substitutions made by coach Spugna give Roma the necessary push, and the Giallorosse begin to create chances against Peyraud-Magnin. In the 83rd minute, Roma finds an unexpected goal through Giacinti. The Italian striker makes the most of a through ball from Troelsgaard and doesn’t miss in front of the Bianconeri goalkeeper, reopening the game.

The match ends with a 2-1 victory for the Bianconere. In fact, the late surge from Spugna’s players fails to make an impact, with the best chance coming seconds from the end with the duo GlionnaCorelli, both substitutes. A defensive lapse from Juve sees Glionna in an optimal position, but she chooses to backheel to her teammate, who shoots wide.

A crucial victory for Juventus, who can finally celebrate a Tricolore that has never been in doubt from the next round. The Giallorosse will face Inter in the other match of the Scudetto Pool for the second-place spot.

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

Published

on

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)
