Inter wins and momentarily overtakes Sassuolo, moving into fifth place: second defeat in the last three for Juve
Great match for Inter Women who beat Juventus 2-0 away on the sixth day of the Poule Scudetto. With this important victory, the Nerazzurre decided the championship: with the defeat of the Bianconere, Roma became Italian Champions. Rita Guarino’s team played a perfect match, leading by two goals in the first half thanks to goals from Polli and Bugeja. The Nerazzurre are currently in fourth place in the standings with 33 points.
The first half saw Inter occupy the pitch well, without any particular risks. In the first ten minutes nothing happens. The first conclusions are from Bonansea and Magull, but in both cases the ball ends up off target. In the 19th minute Guarino’s team broke the deadlock with a lethal counterattack: Magull launched Bonfantini deep from the midfield, who fed Polli who made no mistakes one-on-one with the Juventus goalkeeper. Juve responds with Bonansea who shoots too centrally without worrying Cetinja. At half-time Milinkovic charges from the edge and finishes, but the conclusion is muffled. Juventus tries to increase the pace and comes close to equalizing with a surgical attempt by Girelli, who is just a few centimeters wide. One minute from the end of the first half Bugeja collects a low cross from the left from the edge and with a precise shot pierces the Juventus goalkeeper to make it 2-0.
The second half saw the Bianconere try to recover the result right from the start. In the first few minutes Bonansea and Girelli try. In the first attempt Cetinja deflects with an extraordinary save, in the second attempt the ball ends up on the crossbar. Inter then manages to manage the double advantage, lowering the pace of the game until midway through the second half when Juventus tries everything. Thomas and Girelli look for the goal of hope, but Cetinja is in a good evening and rejects the attempts. In injury time, yet another crazy save from the Nerazzurri goalkeeper who thwarted Girelli’s attempted shot. It is the last emotion of the match: it is an extraordinary victory for Rita Guarino’s team.
