Pavia, 6 May 2024 – Postponement of the 13th Return Day of the Women’s National Serie B Championship, Monday 6 May 2024, at the stadium “Pietro Fortunati” of Pavia, under the eyes of president Kyle Krause, Pavia-Parma ends 0-3.
After yesterday’s results, even more so the Crociate (67), who are coming off ten successes in a row, have the obligation to win to reach second place – with a view to the play-off – occupied by Ternana (70), who yesterday, with the former Gialloblù Valeria Pirone, in the final, snatched the draw from leaders Lazio (75). The direct clashes would favor the ducals, but the exciting final of the championship, with the Crusades having to visit the white and blues. Meanwhile, Cesena was forced to draw at home 2-2 by Freedom and remained behind (65) in fourth place. Pavia, for its part, is playing to save itself: with a defeat it would arithmetically be relegated after just one season in the lower division.
In the 4th minute Kelly Odette Gago puts the ball too far on the goalkeeper: Federica France Migliazza is ready to grab it. Only a minute passes (5′), however, and the Frenchwoman, in her second season in Italy, gives the Crociate the lead, with a peremptory aerial turn, following a cross from the right by Federica Rizza: the ball touches the post and goes into the leads to Kelly Odette Gago’s 15th center of the season (0-1).
Parma persists: in the 8th minute Caterina Ferin tries from distance, but the ball goes high over the crossbar. Suffocating ball possession from the Ducali, who firmly maintain possession of the ball, despite having some difficulty getting to the shooting area. In the 15th minute Ludovica Silvioni tries on a serve from Sofia Kongouli, who is back in the starting lineup (Gaia DiStefano makes room for her, sent to the bench), but the ball is out. At 17′ Laura Peruzzo verticalizes for Kelly Odette Gago who this time misses the target. At 20′ Laura Peruzzo takes a free kick from an inviting position, on the center left, ball in the area, header Of Captain Caterina Ambrosi, very slightly tall.
In the 29th minute Parma doubled their lead: corner kick from the right by Ludovica Silvioni and winning header by Caterina Masu (0-2).
In the 32nd minute the opportunity was repeated: another shot from the flag with the pattern of little train in the center of the area which produces a series of headers, but none manages to impact towards the goal.
In the 34th minute, a corner again favors Parma’s 0-3: this time it beats Vivien Beil from the left, while the winning header goes to Caterina Ferin, her fourth personal goal.
In the 42nd minute, Kelly Odette Gago’s explosive action from the left puts it in the middle for Vivien Beil, who tries twice, but is walled up by Giulia Semplici. After a minute of injury time, the first half ends, one-sided for the Crusades, as clearly highlighted by the 0-3 partial with which the two teams return to the locker rooms for the break.
The second half of the game begins with a change in Pavia’s ranks: Ilaria Dubina comes out, taken over by Sofia Aurora Lepera, who plays the same role, and places herself in the center of the defense. In the 2nd minute the yellow-blues didn’t take advantage of a setup error from below of the opponents and Veronica Benedetti’s opportunity from inside the box fades (ball out). Federica France Migliazza, in the 5th minute, closes well with her foot on Kelly Odette Gago, launched dangerously towards the net, putting it for a corner. Break for Pavia, more proactive, in the 12th minute with an attempt by Giulia Zecchino, from distance with Alessia Capelletti who finishes well on the ground by diving to her left. Shortly after, Sofia Kongouli moves forward on the left, puts a ball in the center which is stopped by Kelly Odette Gago, who is forced to dribble past an opponent, but the ball goes away and is easy prey for goalkeeper Federica France Migliazza. Two minutes pass (15′ st) and mister Salvatore Colantuono changes the offensive structure of his team, removing the two protagonists of the last action, Kelly Odette Gago and Sofia Kongouli taken over by Gaia Di Stefano and Greta Di Luzio respectively.
In the 24th minute Federica France Migliazza outdoes herself by neutralizing Greta Di Luzio’s dangerous close-range header into a corner. At the 25th minute, a new change in the yellow and blue ranks came out to the applause of the very sporty home crowd, Federica Rizza, Antoinette Jewel Williams in her place. In the 28th minute, a left-footed shot from the edge of the area by Ludovica Silvioni, with the ball coming out of the post to the goalkeeper’s right. At 31′ double substitution in the ranks of Pavia: Marta Longoni comes out for Yoice Asamoah and then Giulia Grumelli for Giulia Avallone. In the 34th minute a goal by Veronica Benedetti was disallowed after being caught offside on Carlotta Masu’s serve. At 37′ Parma double substitution, Caterina Ferin and Veronica Benedetti come out, replaced respectively by Melissa Nozzi and Szandra Ploner. In the 39th minute the first yellow of the match goes to the yellow-blue captain Caterina Ambrosi, punished for a handball. In the 43rd minute, Antoinette Jewel Williams’ throw-in with the ball controlled by Greta Di Luzio who, without letting the ball fall to the ground, turns on her first intention and shoots towards the net, hitting a sensational post. Shortly afterwards (45′ st) double substitution in the home team: Serena Acoliti comes out for Noemi Polillo and Elisa Crevalcore for Matilde Ottina. Nothing happens in the 3′ of injury time: so the 0-3 final confirms second place for Parma, ex aequo with Ternana, at 70, with the Umbrians behind due to direct clashes and the arithmetic relegation to Serie C of Pavia, with the simultaneous salvation of Freedom and San Marino Academy.
