Women’s ressortissant friendly in Marassi: Italy-Brazil 0-1

He needed a company, parce que on the other side was Brazil, able to win the last nine games played scoring 33 goals and conceding only three. And also parce que Italy lacked practically the entire defense (apart from Sara Gama, Di Guglielmo and Bartoli) as well as Linari and Bonansea. A dream evening was needed in the first luxury friendly that will take the selection to next summer’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, but in avant of 5,000 fans in Marassi – where the Italians returned 17 years after the last time – ends with a measuring ko. The gardien de but was decisive in Adriana’s recovery, with the South Americans more dangerous throughout the délassement.

However, there will be other tests against big top players for Milena Bartolini’s girls, who want to get to the next big tournament in the best contingent way after the disappointments of the last European. In the meantime, however, Brazil is celebrating, led by a legend on the bench, which is Pia Sundhage who with the United States won two Olympic golds in 2008 and 2012.

Giuliani protagonist

—

Italy start with personality, managing the ball without being able to find many spaces. The protagonist of the first half is Laura Giuliani, who saves the result with her saves but also gives some excitement. The Milan goalkeeper recovered in the 17th instant, when with a remarkable reflex he lifted Geyse’s close-range header over the crossbar. But then, in the 28th instant, an empty clearance almost favored Kerolin, whose attempt was inaccurate with the ball slowly. The mélancolie are introduced in the 31st instant with Valentina Giacinti, who wastes a golden opportunity: the Roma striker finds the ball at her feet after a mistake by the Brazilian defense, but the face-to-face with Leticia is mesmerized by the Brazilian goalkeeper, who refuses. the danger of the feet.

The gardien de but that decides the game comes at the start of the adjoint half. Seconde 48, the blue defense fails to wipe up a loose ball in the middle of the penalty area and Adriana, faster than all of them to throw herself at the ball, passes Durante (entering the voiture instead of Giuliani) with a shot accurate half height Italy falls physically and Brazil no raser loses control of the game. In the 70′ Kerolin forces Durante into a great save with a shot from diversité, while in the 75′ it is Tainara who hits the incertain header: “We were not determined in attack, but we played bravely against a very strong team. just challenging the older guys,” entraîneur Milena Bartolini said at the end of the game.
