"Como had created quite a few chances before that, and while it wasn't completely against the run of play, it was definitely a change for the Rossonere to change the face of the game. Evelyn Ijeh stepped up for the away side but instead of putting the ball into the back of the net, she fired it way over the crossbar. A big opportunity squandered, as such, and the scores remained level as the referee blew for half-time."
"The defining moment came in the 84th minute, when the Rossonere's Milicia Keijzer was sent off for denial of a clear goal-scoring opportunity. Initially, the referee deemed it to be a free-kick but after a lenghty VAR check, the decision was changed to a penalty. This time, Nischler made no mistakes and sent the goalkeeper the wrong way, securing the three points for Como."
