It ends 0-0, with the Azzurre hitting the crossbar in the final seconds. The next match is on Tuesday, again against the Scandinavians.
A sensational cross hit a few seconds before the final whistle prevents the National Women’s team from conquering the “Ullevaal Stadion” in Oslo and securing their pass for Euro 2025.
The first 90′ against Norway ended 0-0, with the Italians protagonists of a match played with attention and great personality.
Andrea Soncin’s players only missed the knockout blow, but it was still a good point, also because Norway came close to taking the lead on a couple of occasions between the end of the first half and the beginning of the second half.
However, the Italian defense rejected every attempt, leaving no space for the very strong opposing attackers.
Now we will need another excellent performance and the push of the public to get full spoils in the second match against the Scandinavians scheduled for Tuesday at 6.15pm at the ‘Paolo Mazza’ stadium in Ferrara.
Tomorrow morning they are scheduled to return to Italy and move to the city of Este to begin preparing for the important match: the team believes in it, is confidently pursuing their ‘dream’ of qualifying and wants to give the fans an unforgettable evening.
Soncin: “Proud of the girls’ performance”
“I’m proud of the girls’ performance – declared the coach – we played the match we wanted, with the game and the right distances. I’m really happy with what the players do on a daily basis, with the group, with whoever takes over and with how much they push ‘ who is on the outside, transmitting emotion, attachment to the shirt and passion. We look forward to the next challenge with great optimism.”
