Women’s Italian Super Cup is Juventus’

Roma-Juventus 1-2

On the one hand, those who want to take revenge on the defeat in the Coppa Italia last June on the other those who, on the other hand, have not yet digested the knockout on penalties one year, the fact remains that Roma and Juventus have a thousand and more reasons to take home the first trophy of the year, the Italian Super Cup.

The’opening è all by Arisa from the most romantic 'Meraviglioso Amore Mio' and then with the classic Inno di Mameli, a thrilling and flawless execution. Ninety minutes of temperament, quality, sacrifice: 2024 begins in the best way for Juventus, which wins the Italian Super Cup by beating Roma 1-2 thanks to an own goal by Viens and Garbino’s magnificent goal (Kumagai’s pearl in the middle).

It started with Juventus touching the first ball and enjoying the first inviting free kick, Boattin put it in the middle, Sembrant’s header did not find the mirror. Again the Bianconeri this time from the crossbar, Caruso puts it low for Gunnarsoditter who crosses and grazes the post. Roma tries to show up at minute 7’ with a couple of corner kicks, nothing done. At minute number nine one of the most touching moments of the day, the chorus for Gianluca Vialli, in his Cremona, complete with a banner “Always with us”, chapeau. Three minutes pass and here is the Bianconeri advantage: Ceasar overcomes Gunnarsdottir’s header, again she ready on the rebound not è responsive the Giallorossi defense that accomplice a deflection packs the advantage of the Piedmontese, 0-1. Roma tries to shake off, a couple of conclusions from outside repelled by the Juventus rearguard, but it is not enough. At 23’ insisite action of the Giallorossi, batti e ribatti then goes to the shot Greggi with the left footer from the limit, no problem for Peyraud-Magnin. The reigning Italian champions turn up the heat, again Greggi from the distance, ball wide not by much. Juve answer with Caruso’s through ball from the spot, Beerensteyn’s bank, Ceasar comes out with the right timing. Roma is there’è and proves it on 30’ when è always alive Greggi this time on the left, fakes the shot and then leans for Kumagai, stop, shot and ball to the cross, 1-1. At 36’ è Giugliano to seek glory from twenty yards and does so with the left footer, providential response of Peyraud – Magnin, but Mrs. Gasperotti does not detect the deflection. Very good opportunity for Juve: does everything right Cascarino on his lane, overpowering shot, Ceasar handcuffs, on the rebound Cantore is not ready and incredibly sends wide at the unguarded goal. The teams begin to draw breath after 40 minutes of good intensity; but they do not give up trying even in the final half. The last two rings are on the one hand Giugliano’s roundabout free kick, the ball doesn’t go down far enough, on the other, again from a free kick, Boattin thinks about it but gets too greedy and from a defiladed position finds only the outside of the net. Double whistle, è 1-1.

We restart with a forced change: out Aigbogun, who suffered a blow at 45’ in Bartoli. At halftime è again Gianluca Vialli the protagonist with the delivery of the plaque in his memory to the Mayor of Cremona by President Gravina. Returning to the field, we start again with a Juve a bit more’arrembante;. At’8 Juventus action on the right track, ball in the middle, Cantore all alone sends wide. But the goal è in the’air and at 9’, after Grosso’s drawn cross on which Beerensteyn doesn’t arrive, Garbino with a delightful parabola mocks Ceasar, 1-2. Just like in the first half, after conceding Roma rekindled and the chance that developed from a corner è very tasty for Kumagai who from a few steps clamorously deflects, the Bianconeri defense saves in two times. Roma pushes now, and è almost perfect Haavi’s through ball for Giancinti, saves everything in Grosso’s tackle, but the line assistant had also raised the flag. Second change of the day, out comes Haavi into Glionna. At 28’ coach Montemurro fishes fresh forces, in Bonansea for Cantore and Thomas for Garbino. Shortly before, Caruso on a counterattack on a ball with Beerensteyn’s tally, the midfielder lets herself get engrossed and tries a lob from the distance that does not go too far from the goal. Fatigue begins to set in, teams rather split. Mister Spugna dà some rest to Greggi, in his place there’è Serturini. The Giallorossi believe and push, Juve grits its teeth at this delicate juncture of the match. Peyraud-Magnin remains down, a few moments of worry then gets up. At 43’ Girelli returns to the field after an injury, an’inexhaustible Grosso gives her room. Six minutes of stoppage time are triggered and Roma immediately has a golden ball that Giacinti fails to turn into an equalizer, but there’s still life when Juve bungles a bit at the back, ball to former Glionna who fakes the shot and serves Giugliano, the captain tries the spot kick but it slams on the crossbar. Another thrill in the Juventus area with Bartoli who turns and goes with the left, sphere going off the bottom. Roma all in the box with the last corner kick, ball goes away and then foul in attack, we are already beyond recovery. Thomas could close it out but his right footer è muffled, then the triple whistle really comes. The Italian Super Cup from Rome returns to Turin, Juventus beats Roma 2-1.
