Roma took home the spoils in the first Derby della Capitale of the season. Gianpiero Piovani’s side eased to a 3-1 victory in one of the standout fixtures of Serie A match-day 2.

Elsewhere, AC Milan staged a stunning late turnaround to snatch all three points from their home clash against Juventus.

Maya Doms found the breakthrough in the latter stages of the first half of Saturday’s derby clash. Receiving possession in the box, the 25-year-old chopped the ball onto her left foot before slotting past Sara Cetinja. Lazio remained in the contest until substitute Alice Corelli doubled the lead in the 72nd minute. The forward neatly controlled Manuela Giugliano’s lofted pass and then rifled a fierce shot into the far corner to score her first goal of the season. Corelli then turned provider, sliding a ball through for Alayah Pilgrim to guide home. 

There was still time left for Margherita Monnecchi to curl a looping shot over Rachele Baldi, but the late consolation did little to dampen Roma’s spirits. The victory sends them into the break as the league leaders, while Lazio are languishing in 10th spot with just a point to their name.

Sunday’s clash between AC Milan and Juventus remained goalless until Martin Lenzini found the breakthrough in the 80th minute. Alba Redondo saw her initial effort saved by Sandra Estévez, but she kept her composure to control the rebound and square it for Lenzini to stroke home her first Serie A goal since the 2022/23 season. As it proved, Juventus’ lead lasted just a matter of minutes.

Park Soo-jeong played an inch-perfect ball for her fellow substitute Thea Kyvåg to drive a low shot through the goalkeeper’s legs. The South Korea international grabbed another assist just two minutes later as Milan completed a dramatic turnaround. Monica Renzotti collected Park’s pass on the right flank, moved into the box and then cleverly chopped onto her left foot before firing into the far corner to snatch all three points.

Como 1907 backed up their first-ever Serie A win with a hard-fought away victory over Napoli. Tessa Wullaert opened the scoring in the 10th minute, controlling the ball on the edge of the box before curling it beyond the outstretched goalkeeper. However, the visitors soon saw their lead cut out in unfortunate circumstances. Melissa Bellucci’s fierce shot cannoned against the crossbar before it bounced off the goalkeeper and into the net.

With the scoreline level at the break, Tecla Pettenuzzo’s overhead kick looked destined to find the net early in the second period, only for Emilie Haavi to pull off a spectacular, acrobatic clearance. Haavi’s intervention took on greater importance when Riola Xhemaili won the game in the final minutes of stoppage time. The Switzerland international tapped in from close range after Beatric Beretta pushed Wullaert’s shot against the post.
