HIGHLIGHTS | Inter vs. Juventus (Serie A Femminile 2024-25 Matchday 7)

Inter playing with Maria Milinkovic, the number 24, at the heart of their defense for this game. Sometimes she plays in midfield, but her height could be an advantage as the threat of Girelli in the air is very apparent as the ball comes into the area. High lofting ball as Girelli with the volley. Well wide. Good form so far this season though. Christiane Girelli, as I mentioned earlier on, three goals already. Put away that time by Ivana Andres. Here's Bonansea's first time effort. It's on target and the goalkeeper catches it at the second attempt. Cecilia Brunausdottir, by far and away the tallest goalkeeper in the league. That helped on that occasion. Slightly nervous moment for her, but no damage done. Sertarini. Magul just couldn't take it in her stride. Girelli losing out to Pettersson there. Milinkovic now. No free kick as Bonansea bursts into the area here. Barbara Bonansea with a dangerous ball across the six-yard box. Girelli couldn't apply the finish. Dangerous still there though. Diaz makes the block at the second attempt. Look at the positioning of the goalkeeper here. It's really unusual. She's obviously going to sprint out. There's no way she's 10 yards away there. Girelli's shot, the wall does its job and the follow-up effort is well off target from Bergamaschi. Well a most unusual situation there and Inter survive. I'm not sure I've ever seen a free kick like that inside the area where the goalkeeper's positioning was as Brunausdottir's was there. Boutin quick throw in to find Girelli. She has Milinkovic behind her. Boutin. That's a clever little ball inside to Caruso. Now Girelli stands on up towards the back post and Cantori must score. No. Girelli's shot blocked that time by Milinkovic for a corner kick. Well it looked like Sofia Cantori was going to score her fourth goal of the season as the ball broke to her. It's going to be taken by Ariana Caruso. What a lovely ball. Header over the top though from Bonantea. Sertorini by Lenzini, the referee. Let's play continue. Bowen. Kambiaghi. Shot from Kambiaghi is on target but it's an easy one for Pedro Maná. I think we're going to see changes pretty soon for Juve. One or two of the players looking a bit tired. Bonantea on the far side. Bowen who's looked very fresh. Full of running. It's a great ball in and a good effort from Tomaselli just wide of the target. It's a lovely play from Inter. Really well worked opening. Martina Tomaselli a little unfortunate. Magul's cross was brilliant. Belgian international Tessa wonderful striker. Here's Kambiaghi. Bullard's first touch finds Bartoli. Magul now with Milinkovic Andres being allowed to carry this forward. Ivana Andres. Nobody has attacked the ball at all. Bartoli has a lot of space here. Bartoli's effort goes wide of the post. It's deflected for a corner. Polina Krumbeigel. Funny to see Krumbeigel with the jersey tucked inside her shorts. I think every other player has their jersey out loose. Beccari. Shot from distance on target. Forcing the save from Bruno Sartir. Beccari still only 20 years of age from San Marino. The substitute is just on. Merlo's cross towards the back post. Oh it's off the crossbar. The goalkeeper was slightly confused there. Fedor Omana. I think it was meant as a cross by Merlo. The point here would see them go one point clear at the top from Fiorentina. Bugheia. Good positive play by Bugheia. There's Bartoli. A real chance here for Inter. Oh good block by Krumbeigel as well. We saw Bartoli block a shot from Krumbeigel at the other end a few moments ago and then in a reverse of that action it was Krumbeigel who made the block this time. Bugheia did ever so well. Hand is held a lot. Does that mean this is going towards the near post? It does. Oh it's just wide of the target as well. It was a flank scorer who got the last touch. Oh that was so close. Referee has checked the watch. There goes the final whistle in Milan. It's a point apiece. Juve move a point clear at the top of the table to 19 ahead of Fiorentina on 18. Inter move on to 15 points of the table. Maybe not the drama of the 3-3 draw they played out at this venue last season but interesting game nevertheless where defences dominated. Merlo's cross off the crossbar probably as close as we came to a goal in the second half but a final score of Inter Milan nil, Juventus nil and the Arena Civica. Juventus dropped their first points of the season but remain unbeaten as do Inter Milan before the international break. They're back in action then at the start of November.
