HIGHLIGHTS | Juventus vs. AC Milan (Serie A Femminile Matchday 9)

The Milan manager, Suzanne Bakker, happy to go with the same XI that started the match against Sassuolo last weekend. That means Evelyn Eje, who's been in such fine form this season, this early season for Milan, she continues in the side today. Krumbiegel is the player on her outside. Now Cascarino, Juventus, playing it patiently. Ariana Caruso, captain today for Juve. Rubio can't pick up the possession from Milan, still with Juventus, switched from Giarelli. Here's Tomas now, Linzy Thomas, it comes back to her, off of Angelica Sofia, that's a good cross in and that'll be headed back towards goal and what a, by Cristiana Giarelli, fantastic finish. Heads it back across goal. The technique and awareness to put it where Laura Giuliani could not get to it. Here's Giarelli involved again, surrounded by Milan players but she somehow managed to work a ball back to Cascarino, who found the release ball for Bonansea and now it's Thomas on the right hand side for Juventus, threatening again here. Cantore back for Thomas again, here's Cantore once more, Cantore's cross in, Giarelli's not far away and she's tucked it back and it's in and it's two for Juventus and it's Ariana Caruso with the goal. Nine minutes in and it's been a whirlwind start for the home team. Milan seeing more of the ball in the last few minutes, here's Stokic now carrying it a long way and her direct shot at goal is into the side netting. First real attack in anger from the visiting team, it's come after 17 and a half minutes and a week later gets her second. Here's Cascarino, Caruso with the switch, Linzy Thomas, Juventus threatening again, Giarelli's in the middle, it's a direct shot at goal, that's a really good save by Laura Giuliani, got her quickly off her line and narrowed down the angle, held off well by Renzotti. Now Rubio, Sorelli with the switch across to Sofia, Sofia she's done really well here, now it's Nadiem, Nadiem, Nadiem, good play and the cross is across the face of goal, nobody in there in a Milan shirt to apply the finish, Sofia back for Mascarello, Stokic again forced backwards by Juventus organisation, Sorelli, now Ije, Ije checking it back inside and now outside again and she looked for the shot here, Evelyn Ije full of confidence at the moment, the Milan number 19 drawing a save from Piero Magna, Cascarino, now Krumbegel, Giarelli holding it up, support from Cascarino onto the right foot and the ball flicked towards goal and that's dropping in and Giuliani had to save it, Juventus still have it with Giarelli and Giarelli goes for goal now, Giuliani tested again, we're inside the 30th minute at Stadio Vittorio Pozzo and it's a pretty tall order now from Milan, trailing by two goals to nil against the league leaders, here's Stokic now seeing more of it and that's not a bad effort by the Serbian, helped on its way by Mascarello, Nadim's touch isn't as assured as usual, Thoma helped on by Caruso, Juventus threatening a third here in towards Krumbegel with the header, Giuliani in the way of it on her line, another effort on goal though by Massimiliano Kanzi's team, Mascarello, Ije just smuggles it to Stokic here, Stokic with the ball in, she was looking for Nadim, Nadim competing for it against Cascarino and now here come Juventus and Bonansea has slipped that through and this should be three, oh and she struck the post Cantora, did everything right, almost everything right but the post in the way, here's Emma Kuhlberg, Krumbegel descended upon by two players in red shirts and forward come Milan, Rubio though has it taken away from her and here come Juventus once more, Giarelli's in the middle, oh and holds it up well, oh what a strike, that's brilliant by Cantora, absolutely brilliant by Sofia Cantora, Corvisto, Sofia, Rubio trying to lift it in behind, they still have it Milan, good position this for the cross and it's gone a long way and this might be an opportunity and it was Angelica, Sofia all the way forward, instruction all the game and constant encouragement for our players as well, here's Silvia, Rubio, Nadim, that's a good ball to Dompik, it is in the middle, saved by Peyron Manon, here's Dompik again with the shot, blocked by Lanzini, Chante Dompik hunting down her second goal of the season, Sorelli, we are inside the final minute of stoppage time, Rubio and that's a loose one, Lehmann, she's got Giarelli to her left hand side, this is Giarelli and that's a good ball back and now it's Rizzucci and it's Lehmann trying to screw it into the net from seven or eight yards out and that is the last whistle from Dario Di Francesco and that has sealed three points for Massimiliano Canzi at the expense of Suzanne Backer and of Milan, Juventus extend their lead at the top of the table this weekend over Fiorentina to four points, Fiorentina beaten by Roma earlier today and Juventus have done what they had to do here in Turin this afternoon, they open the scoring through that lady there, Cristiana Giarelli on just four minutes with a tremendous header from the tightest of angles, five minutes later Ariana Caruso making it 2-0 in favour of the home side, Sofia Cantore hit the post before halftime but eight minutes into the second half Sofia Cantore made absolutely sure of the points and it was pretty much a procession after that.
