Poule Scudetto

AC Milan 3-1 Roma

Roma’s faint hopes of retaining the Serie A Femminile title were effectively ended in Saturday’s clash with AC Milan. The visitors actually made a positive start to the contest, establishing an early lead thanks to Evelyne Viens’ fourth-minute opener. However, Milan managed to pull themselves level just before the half-hour mark. The ball broke kindly for Evelyn Ijeh to fire into the top corner, sending the two teams into the break on level terms.

Milan completed the turnaround just after the hour mark. Chanté Dompig cut inside onto her right foot before drilling a low shot in at the near post. Giorgia Arrigoni then made sure of the three points in stoppage time with a stunning long-range effort.

That wrapped up a memorable win for Milan and piled the misery on the reigning Champions. Roma’s main focus will be on securing European qualification, given the fact that they are just three points clear of fourth-placed Fiorentina.

Fiorentina 1-0 Inter

Inter missed the chance to move to within seven points of Juventus in the Serie A Femminile table. The second-placed side breathed a sigh of relief when Fiorentina’s Verónica Boquete failed to convert a first half penalty. Cecilía Rán Rúnarsdóttir guessed the right way to gather the tame spot-kick, ensuring the contest remained goalless at half time.

However, Inter failed to make the most of that reprieve, as they soon found themselves behind in the opening stages of the second half. Agnese Bonfantini pounced on a rebound to tuck the ball home from close range after Sofie Bredgaard had struck the woodwork. Bonfantini’s effort sealed back-to-back wins for Fiorentina, while Inter have now gone four league matches without a win.
