Last season’s Scudetto final will also be the final of the Italian Cup Of Women’s Serie A. TikiTaka Francavilla against Bitonto – the team that holds the title – the last act of Genoa 2024, an unmissable show that will be staged on Sunday at 12.30pm live on Sky Sport Arena (channel 204). Kick Off (5-3 for the yellow-reds) and GTM Montesilvano stopped in the semi-final (and to applause), the latter only defeated at the last minute by an own goal.
IN THE SIGN OF VANIN – First advantage on an own goal by Ghilardi, but the TikiTaka Francavilla legitimizes the result with good ball possession which then leads to the penalty earned (and converted) by Vanin. Another own goal – that of Guidotti following a corner kick from Lanziloti – reopens the Kick Off match, but in the second half Vanin takes center stage again. The number 2 – in full recovery after the injury at the end of January – scores the 3-1 and also the illuminating assist for Prenna’s 5-1, while in the middle there is Bertè’s poker thrown into the one-on-one with Polloni. The Kick Off inserts Bortolini as a goalkeeper and the move reignites the match in the 16th minute: just 13″ pass between Lundstrom’s goal and Lanziloti’s, but the comeback remains only partial. 5-3 for the Abruzzo team, the first finalists of the Genoa Italian Cup 2024.
BITONTO, ANOTHER FINAL – First Renatinha, then Mansueto: as happened in the championship 12 days ago, Bitonto escaped with a 2-0 lead in the first minutes of the game. But Montesilvano isn’t there: D’Incecco and Manieri’s post are signs. Even if it is with the goalkeeper that Morgado’s team really opens up again. Copy and paste of Sammichele di Bari’s match. Double strike by Belli in power play and the result is back to parity within 5′. Risk of overtaking for Bitonto, but Rozo hits the crossbar. Another pro-lioness restart with a flash goal from Renatinha, which Rozo came close to canceling in two close circumstances. Instead it is Mansueto who extends further from a corner kick, while Belli chips another woodwork again with the moving goalkeeper. Power-play also for Marzuoli: long ball for Mansueto who serves a chocolate for Lucilèia and maximum neroverde advantage (+3). Finished? No way. Morgado repays with the same coin and Montesilvano takes 19″ to get back to -1 at the turn of the 13th with Manieri and Taty. Evening ball at the feet of Rozo in the 17th: shot from close range incredibly wide. Time out Montesilvano who on the return action, 1 minute from the siren, achieves the equalizer with Manieri. But it’s not over until it’s over, right? Launch for Lucilèia who goes up to the sky to catch the ball, Taty intervenes but unfortunately pushes in his own net 34″ from the gong. 6-5 for Bitonto. Game, set, match.
