The Mapei Football Center hosted the Primavera 1 Women Final Four, with Sassuolo facing Roma for a place in the final, scheduled for Monday 11 May at 18:00 at the Ricci Stadium.<\/p>\n
Sassuolo showed positive signs from the opening minutes, with well-organized counter-pressing and attacking moves down the wings leading them into the opposition\u2019s box, though without seriously troubling Mazzocchi.<\/p>\n
Roma had their first big chance in the 11th minute: Bedini struck well from distance, but Mino reacted superbly, tipping the ball onto the crossbar and then out for a corner.<\/p>\n
Sassuolo responded through Stani\u0107, who ran in behind the Roma defense following a precise long pass from Andersone, but her left-footed effort was saved by Mazzocchi.<\/p>\n
From a goal kick, Sassuolo continued their aggressive pressing: Tour\u00e9 won back possession and delivered into the box. After a partial clearance, she headed the ball across goal for Stani\u0107, who tapped in from close range to give Sassuolo the lead in the 15th minute<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Another corner, earned through Vianello\u2019s pressing, found Stani\u0107 again, but the Roma defense managed to clear before the ball could cross the line.<\/p>\n Sassuolo created another opportunity through a midfield recovery by Guerzoni, who beat her opponent and set up Tour\u00e9. After a feint, Tour\u00e9 fired from the edge of the box, but Mazzocchi was ready.<\/p>\n In the latter part of the first half, Roma gained ground, but Sassuolo held firm while still threatening on the counter through Stani\u0107 and Tour\u00e9.<\/p>\n Mino proved crucial just before halftime: Bedini broke into the box and shot towards an open goal, but Sassuolo\u2019s goalkeeper made a vital diving save.<\/p>\n At the start of the second half, Azzena drove forward from midfield and found Stani\u0107 on the right, whose cross was met by Vianello, but her shot hit the crossbar.<\/p>\n Sassuolo continued to press: Azzena found Stani\u0107 again, who laid it off to substitute Guglielmini, whose left-footed shot went wide.<\/p>\n A strong recovery by Vianello sparked another move, with Guglielmini spotting Stani\u0107\u2019s run. The striker entered the box and played a low cross, but Mazzocchi intervened. <\/p>\n A huge chance came in the 81st minute: Tour\u00e9, outstanding in ball recoveries, set Stani\u0107 through, but Mazzocchi denied her once again.<\/p>\n In stoppage time, Andersone won possession near her own box and launched a counterattack. She found Stani\u0107 in open space: the forward rounded the goalkeeper and calmly slotted home from distance to seal the win in the 95th minute<\/strong>.<\/p>\n After an outstanding 97-minute performance, Sassuolo secured their place in Monday\u2019s final at the Ricci Stadium.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Match details: Roma-Sassuolo<\/strong><\/p>\n Roma<\/strong>: Mazzocchi, Grassi, Carosi (77\u2019 Grilli), Piekarska, Terlizzi (77\u2019 Di Riso), Aulicino (54\u2019 Pinchi), Bedini, Testa (77\u2019 Cacace), Ventriglia (C), Robino, Mascenti (54\u2019 Roselli)<\/p>\n Subs: Klobucarevic, Degregorio, Paniccia, Parente<\/p>\n Head Coach: Marco Lucarelli<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sassuolo<\/strong>: Mino; Venturi, Fiorani, Bertola, Randazzo (62\u2019 Guglielmini); Azzena, Guerzoni (57\u2019 Gavazza), Vianello (90\u2019 Fant); Andersone; Toure (90\u2019 Nizzoli), Stani\u0107<\/p>\n Subs: Nardella, Lusetti, Poli, Pistolesi, Domenichini<\/p>\n Head Coach: Davide Balugani<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Goals: 15\u2019, 95\u2019 Stani\u0107 (S)<\/p>\n Bookings: Venturi 29\u2019 (S), Fiorani 31\u2019 (S), Testa 69\u2019 (R) <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Mapei Football Center hosted the Primavera 1 Women Final Four, with Sassuolo facing Roma for a place in the final, scheduled for Monday 11 May at 18:00 at the Ricci Stadium.
