Como 1-0 AC Milan Women: Bernardi goal leaves Rossonere searching for first away point

It could have been the perfect weekend for AC Milan across all sectors, but unfortunately the Women’s team fell to a defeat.

After the derby victory over Inter, the Primavera’s 5-0 crushing of Monza and Milan Futuro’s win against Virtus Verona, Milan Women tried to make it a ‘clean sweep’ last night against Como but they ultimately lost 1-0.

The Rossonere failed to follow up on the impressive 3-0 victory over Ternana in the last round. A beautiful goal early in the second half by Virginia Bernardi decided the fifth match of the season, a goal that rewarded the home side for their dominance in truth.

The game swung back in the second half and had their chances to level. Nerea Nevado’s strike was heading into the top corner and would have been one of the most beautiful goals of the year, but it was kept out brilliantly.

Suzanne Bakker’s side failed to secure their first away points of the season, which would have been probably been deserved given the overall performance in a tight and hard-fought match.

The schedule offers a great opportunity to relaunch our momentum: the first Derby of the season on Saturday 7 November at 15:00 CEST, against an Inter side in second place.
