Bianconere brush aside Roma to lift Coppa Italia | OneFootball

Juventus Women First Team’s extraordinary season came to an end in the best possible way. After winning the Scudetto, today the team lifted the Women’s Coppa Italia in the last match of the season as, thanks to a perfect first half performance, the Bianconere defeated Roma 4-0 in the final.

Let's review the pivotal moments of the match and hear from some of the key players and coach Massimiliano Canzi, as well as taking a look at the team sheets.

THE MATCH REPORT

The perfect weather for a big crowd at the ‘Giuseppe Sinigaglia’ stadium in Como, which played host to the final of the Women's Coppa Italia, in a match which the Bianconere started brightly and managed to take an early lead. First Barbara Bonansea did well to win a free-kick in the final third, before an excellent pass caught the Giallorosse defence off guard and found Cristiana Girelli: Camelia Ceasar came rushing out to meet her and bundled over the attacker.

The challenge was punished with the award of a penalty kick for Juventus Women: Girelli made no mistake from 12 yards and scored goal number 20 of her season.

Roma tried to respond immediately, but Valentina Giacinti's volley in the 15th minute from inside the area flew high over the crossbar. Barely five minutes had passed before the Bianconere struck again: in the 21st minute, a loose pass from the Giallorosse led to Sofia Cantore recovering possession and finding herself one-on one with Ceasar. The Juventus Women number 9 kept her composure and finished with a low strike to make it 2-0.

A quickfire double that put the game firmly in the hands of the Italian champions, who scored their third on the half-hour mark: a deep pass aimed at Girelli was cleared, but only as far as Lindsey Thomas who finished from the edge of the area; with her effort taking a deflection on its way to goal that wrongfooted Ceasar, who was forced to pick the ball out of the back of her own net for a third time in 30 minutes .

Juve weren’t finished there. Not by a long shot, as the Bianconere continued to put in the best first half performance of the season: Lisa Boattin delivered a perfect cross onto the head of Girelli in the 35th minute, who guided her effort brilliantly inside the far post, thus getting her second of the day and putting Juventus Women out of sight. Pauline Peyraud-Magnin was then called into action on a couple of occasions in the final minutes of the half to prevent Roma from spoiling the result of a perfectly played half: at half-time it was 4-0, with coach Canzi’s side in full control of the match.

The second half was played as more a showcase with the result beyond doubt, as the Bianconere retained their 4-0 lead. In the 55th minute Cantore showed quick thinking to get free and deliver a cross onto the head of Bonansea, who was unable to find the target from an excellent position, while coach Canzi then began to give some minutes to the girls on the bench.

In the end the result, and above all the reward, of a match dominated from the first whistle remained unchanged: a perfect victory, well deserved. Well done girls, you couldn't have ended the season in a better way!
