Nations League: Italy women mocked at 95', Sweden wins on penalty kick
The third match of Group 4 of Women’s Nations League A between Sweden and Italy ends in a mocking way. In Solna, in fact, the Azzurri after finding the lead immediately suffered a comeback by the Scandinavians, who won the match 3-2 thanks to a penalty kick scored in the midst of recovery.
Ready go and Soncin’s girls immediately found the goal of the lead: Beccari from a good position served Severini, who flatly beat Falk. As time passes, Sweden also begins to make themselves dangerous from Giuliani’s sides, but the first half ends 1-0 in favor of the Azzurri.
The girls’ goal is a good one.
In the resumption, the inertia shifts to the side of the hosts, who manage to materialize the best moment at 55′: after a maneuvered action, the ball ends up between the feet of Asllani, who, with even a little bit of luck, manages to pierce Giuliani. Three minutes later, Gerhardsson’s girls have a chance to take the lead on a penalty kick, but Angeldahl gets hypnotized by the Blue’s extreme defender.
The Swedish player, however, makes up for it a few minutes later by converting an excellent free kick, giving Sweden the lead. Italy, for its part, did not give up and at the 84’84’ regained the equalizer with Cambiaghi who scored with a header on a precise cross from Cantore.
The Swedish player, however, did not give up.
In the midst of the recovery, however, came the mockery for Soncin’s girls, as Oliveiro deflected the ball with his hand into the penalty area, forcing the match director to award the penalty. From the eleven meters, Rolfo did not miss and gave Sweden the victory.
