Match Report

A difficult start to the match for Como Women, who were forced to make a substitution as early as the 12th minute. Following a collision in the penalty area with Giacinti, Gilardi was unable to continue and had to be stretchered off. She was replaced by Babb, making her league debut between the posts. The Surinamese goalkeeper had previously made her debut for Como Women against Como 1907 in the Serie A Women’s Cup. The first chance for the visitors came in the 26th minute, when Nielsen tried her luck from distance with a right-footed effort from outside the box, but her shot went wide. In the 35th minute, the home side took the lead. Following a corner kick, De Rita recovered the ball inside the penalty area and sent a low cross in from the right. Bonfantini got on the end of it and beat Babb at the near post to make it 1-0 for Como 1907. Como Women responded three minutes later, with Zamboni receiving a pass from Nesbeth and attempting a shot from the edge of the box, but her right-footed effort failed to hit the target. In the 41st minute, Como 1907 threatened again through Moraca, who tried her luck with a right-footed shot from inside the penalty area, sending the ball narrowly over the crossbar. The home side doubled their lead in the 43rd minute. De Rita was once again the protagonist, finishing off a fine individual run by beating the opposing defence inside the box and making it 2-0. In stoppage time, Como 1907 looked to extend their advantage further through Moraca, but without finding the back of the net. The first half of the Como derby therefore ended with Como 1907 leading 2-0 against Como Women.

At the start of the second half, Como Women looked to get back into the game through Zamboni, whose effort from the edge of the box forced Durante into a save, denying the Como Women midfielder a goal. In the 58th minute, Como Women threatened again through Berisha, who had just come on as a substitute. Following a cross from the right, the forward attempted a header inside the box, but Durante was alert and made the save. A minute later, Como 1907 responded through Giacinti, who tried her luck from distance, but her shot went wide. In the 62nd minute, the visitors came close to scoring through Nischler. From the right, Borbye delivered a low cross into the box, which found the South Tyrolean midfielder, but her effort struck the outside of the post. In the 73rd minute, the home side made it 3-0 through Wullaert. Haavi, set up by Giacinti, delivered a cross from the left, which the Belgian forward met inside the box with a first-time finish, leaving no chance for the goalkeeper. In the 83rd minute, Como Women tried to pull a goal back following a set-piece routine from a corner. Nischler attempted a first-time low shot, but her effort was deflected behind for another corner. In the 85th minute, Como 1907 threatened again, but Babb produced an excellent reflex save to deny Giacinti's header. The match ended 3-0 in favour of Selena Mazzantini's side.

Following this result, Como Women remain on 8 points in sixth place in the standings. Paolo Tramezzani's team will next be in action on Sunday, 22 November, at 12:30 CET, when they host league leaders Roma at the “Mino Favini” stadium in Meda (MB).
