Juventus Turin, defending champion of the Women’s Italian Cup, had to give up on Sunday, eliminated in the semi-finals by Roma who joined AC Milan in the final. Beaten in Rome on the first leg (1-2), the Turinese won the return on the wire (3-2), with two goals in added time. But this success remains insufficient because of the two away goals scored by the Giallorosse, who equalized by Lindsey Thomas (77th, 1-1) then took the advantage by Paloma Lázaro (82nd, 1-2). And this while the Bianconere were virtually qualified from the goal of Sofie Pedersen (18th, 1-0).
Juve had won the last edition of the Italian Cup in 2019, that of last year not having taken place due to the coronavirus pandemic. This elimination comes as a surprise for a team that has dominated Italian football head and shoulders since the creation of the women’s section of Juve in 2017, with three Italian league titles (2018, 2019, 2020) and a fourth who reaches out to him with 18 wins in 18 matches since the start of the season (there are four days left). Saturday, in the other semi-final return, Milan had won against Inter (4-2) to erase the defeat of the first leg (1-2). The final is scheduled for May 30.
