Fiorentina 4-3 AC Milan Women: Three points dropped after another late turnaround

AC Milan Women failed to bounce back from the disappointing defeat to Roma last weekend, suffering yet another late turnaround against Fiorentina. 

Last weekend’s result, following what was a great performance, was certainly tough to swallow for Suzanne Bakker and her players. While it looked like they would bounce back this afternoon, another late turnaround brought their celebrations to a halt.

Starting from the beginning, it was the home side that took the lead. Kay-Lee de Sanders, who scored the goal against Roma, committed a foul in the box and the referee blew the whistle for a penalty. Emma Severini calmly converted, putting her side in front after 25 minutes.

Just seven minutes later, however, Milan found the equaliser through Monica Renzotti. She made no mistakes with her right foot from close range, making the most of a nice assist from Thea Kyvåg. Before the first half was over, the latter managed to get a second assist.

Indeed, in the 37th minute, Angelica Soffia found the back of the net with a goal similar to the first one. Kyvåg with the assist once again, as alluded to, and Milan thus headed into the break with a good lead.

In the second half, Fiorentina found the 2-2 equaliser in the 58th minute through Madelen Janogy, who managed to beat the goalkeeper Laura Giuliani with a header. Renzotti restored Milan’s lead in the 77th minute, and for a long time, it looked like it would be the winner.

However, in the 94th minute, Janogy found the back of the net again and thus made it 3-3. As if that wasn’t enough, in the 97th minute, Katla Tryggvadóttir completed the turnaround with the 4-3 goal. In short, it ended up being another disappointing afternoon for the Rossonere.
