«A point that moves the standings». Alessandro Caruso praises the grit and temperament of captain Gaia Apicella and her teammates. At the Amerigo Liguori stadium in Torre del Greco, the granata stand up to the rossonere, complaining about a penalty not granted by the referee Domenico Leone of Barletta, and nearly succeed with the Argentine Dalila Belen Ippolito at the end. The 14th round between Pomigliano-Milan ends in a goalless draw (0-0).
Four rounds to the end of the regular season. The Serie A grid is decided in quick succession. The club chaired by Raffaele Pipola will be called to face Sampdoria in Liguria on Sunday, February 4 (12:30 pm), seven days later comes the Inter in Campania (12 pm), followed by the super derby of the rear on Thursday, February 15 Napoli-Pomigliano (8:30 pm) at the Giuseppe Piccolo stadium in Cercola, finally the home challenge with Como on Saturday, February 17.
The panthers are looking for a success that would strengthen the penultimate position in the economy of the next matches. Meanwhile, here are the market reinforcements: Nicole Arcangeli (forward born in 2003, owned by Juventus) and the Serbian Milica Babic.
The Lombards do not achieve two consecutive successes in Serie A since February 2023. The players of Davide Corti, successor of Maurizio Ganz on the bench, are careful not to expose themselves, avoiding giving space to the opponents' counterattacks. The perfect balance prevails. A lot of movement from Ippolito, Martina Fusini provides the assist to Violah Nambi: weak turn of the number 7 at the 19'. Valentina Bergamaschi makes her mark at the 24'. Ippolito calls into question the Dutch Selena Babb (28'). The rhythm raises by Pomigliano and the panthers claim a penalty at 43' for the reckless exit of Babb on the Ugandan forward Nambi. Milan in difficulty, but it's half-time.
In the second half debut of Arcangeli who replaces Nambi (60'). And the new entry tries it ten minutes later. The three conclusions of Zhanna Ferrario (79'), of Virginia Di Giammarino (86') and of Ippolito, who despairs, bringing her hands to her face (89'), do not have the desired effects.
