AC Milan Women 0-1 Fiorentina: Season target now difficult after muddy affair

AC Milan Women lost for the second game in a row, as Fiorentina prevailed by the odd goal on a very muddy pitch.

It has been a season filled with ups and downs for Milan Women so far. The fact that they have both six wins and six defeats perhaps says it all, and Champions League qualification definitely looks a tough task (if not impossible) at the moment.

In any case, after the narrow defeat against the league leaders Roma, Milan headed into today’s game against Fiorentina with the hope of bouncing back. Unfortunately, they lost another game and allowed La Viola to leapfrog them in the standings.

Madelen Janogy was the only goalscorer in the game, finding the back of the net after just 18 minutes, and that set things up nicely for Fiorentina. Things could have got interesting in the final 15 minutes as the away side got a red card for a second yellow, but it didn’t help the Rossonere.

As alluded to, Champions League qualification is now six points away with one less game played, so Milan could miss out once again. Whether Suzanne Bakker will be able to keep her job if all of this continues is also an important question.
