AC Milan Women 1-2 Roma: Nothing to show for great display after late turnaround
"AC Milan Women played a great game against Roma on Sunday afternoon but came away with zero points in the end, conceding two late goals. Suzanne Bakker's side headed into today's game with decent confidence, having won the opener against Genoa thanks to a 97th-minute goal. Sure enough, they looked confident on the pitch despite taking on Roma, who finished third last season."
"It was much of the same in the second half, with Milan pushing for an opener. They eventually managed to get it, more specifically in the 76th minute, as Key-Lee de Sanders found the back of the net with a nice volley. In the 84th minute, however, Roma made the most of a corner and found their equaliser. Suddenly, the momentum of the game changed and the Giallorossi pushed for the turnaround, which arrived in the 91st minute, as a long ball found Giugliano in a good position."
AC Milan Women created several notable chances across both halves, including efforts from Chante Dompig and Evelyn Ijeh. Key-Lee de Sanders scored a 76th-minute volley to give Milan the lead. Roma equalised from a corner in the 84th minute and scored a 91st-minute winner after a long ball found Giugliano. Milan were the better side for the majority of the match but lacked composure in the closing stages. Defensive lapses and missed opportunities prevented Milan from securing points. Milan will need more clinical finishing and concentration in late moments to convert performances into results.
