Cambiaghi wins it for Inter against Como Women

A closely contested match saw Inter secure a narrow victory against Como, thanks to Cambiaghi's goal just eleven minutes into the game. In Matchday 6, the Nerazzurre achieved an important win in a physically demanding match characterised by few clear chances. Under coach Piovani, the team now sits in second place in the standings with 14 points, just one point behind Juventus and Fiorentina, with the Bianconere yet to play.

The first half began with Inter controlling possession from the outset and taking the lead in the eleventh minute through Cambiaghi. Magull's deft touch, set up the Nerazzurri forward to slot away with her right foot. After the goal, Piovani's team pushed higher up the pitch, with Magull attempting another shot that flew over the crossbar. Around the half-hour mark, Cambiaghi had another opportunity, but her turn after a good cross from Bugeja went wide. In the last ten minutes of the half, Como managed to create some chances, first with a header from Del Estal that went over the bar and then with a shot from Kramzar.

The second half saw Inter manage their lead while facing few risks. The match lost intensity, providing limited goal-scoring opportunities. The first chance came in the 62nd minute when Como’s Guagni got to the byline and crossed for Del Estal, whose header went wide of Baldi's goal. Three minutes later, an active Wullaert broke down the left flank, skipped past an opponent, and set up Robustellini, who fired a powerful but central shot. Midway through the half, Petzelberger had a good opportunity but sent her right-footed effort off-target. In the closing minutes, Piovani's team held on to their lead, securing a crucial three points.
