Samp beaten late on by Juve

Sampdoria Women held their own against a Juventus side that has now won eight out of eight league games so far this season. Antonio Cincotta’s charges stood firm for well over an hour before Valentina Cernoia grabbed the only goal of the game with just 15 minutes left on the clock.

The crowd at the Garrone in Bogliasco clapped off the players after a respectable performance and the players can now turn their attention to a trip to Empoli next time out.
