Samp Women fall to Juve

Despite a great first-half display from the Blucerchiate, a series of missed chances meant that they fell to a heavy defeat to Juve. Antonio Cincotta’s side created lots of great opportunities in the first 40 minutes but failed to capitalise on any of them. Juventus, on the other hand, were clinical and had no such trouble when the opportunities arose. A brace from Amanda Nilden and goals from Barbara Bonansea and Sofia Cantore left Sampdoria ruing their mistakes, but they will have to put this defeat behind them as they look ahead to next week’s clash with Fiorentina.
