Como 1907 won its first Serie A Women’s derby against Como Women with a 3-0 score and solidified its third-place standing in the standings, two points behind second-place Inter.
In front of a sold-out crowd at the Centro Sportivo Lambrone, the BiancoBlu broke the deadlock in the 35th minute: De Rita played the ball into the penalty area, Bonfantini pounced, and with a close-range finish beat Babb to score her fourth goal of the season.
The Lariane, having started the match in the best possible way, continued to control possession and create chances. In the 43rd minute, De Rita doubled the lead: the defender collected an assist from Giacinti, dribbled past two defenders, and fired a powerful right-footed shot into the net.
The final goal came in the 73rd minute from Wullaert, who made the most of Haavi’s cross following a counterattack to beat Babb with a right-footed shot.
The BiancoBlu’s pressure continued, with Giacinti coming close to scoring a fourth goal in the final minutes with a header that forced Babb to tip the ball over the crossbar.
The final whistle sealed Como 1907’s victory in the derby against Como Women, earning them three precious points. At the end of the match, Aurora De Rita, who scored a goal and provided an assist, was named MVP of the game.
Before the international break, the Lariane will return to the field next Sunday, November 22, at 3:00 p.m., on Fiorentina’s home turf.
