Como 2000 Women 0 – 0 Napoli Women
Italian Women’s Serie A – 9 May 2026

At the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, Como 2000 Women and Napoli Women played out a tense, goalless stalemate that left both sides feeling they should have taken more from the encounter. The match was characterised by disciplined defensive organisation and a lack of cutting edge in the final third.

Match Overview

Napoli entered the fixture as slight favourites, sitting two places above Como in the Serie A table, but they struggled to break down a well‑drilled home defence. The first half saw few clear‑cut chances: Napoli’s best opportunity fell to striker Francesca Cerci, who headed wide from a corner in the 17th minute. Como responded with a sharp counter‑attack that ended with Giulia Rossetti firing straight at the goalkeeper.

The second half brought increased urgency. Napoli’s midfield began to dominate possession, yet the final ball repeatedly let them down. Como’s goalkeeper Elena Vitale made a crucial save in the 73rd minute, diving low to deny a powerful drive from Martina Lombardi. At the other end, Como substitute Anna Ferrero almost snatched a late winner with a volley that brushed the top of the crossbar.

Key Moments

• 17’ – Francesca Cerci heads wide from a corner.
• 73’ – Elena Vitale’s save keeps the scores level.
• 88’ – Anna Ferrero’s volley hits the crossbar.

Standout Performers

Como’s central defensive duo of Sofia Rinaldi and Chiara Azzaro were outstanding, making 12 clearances between them and winning all aerial duels. Napoli’s midfield anchor Eleonora Girelli also impressed with her ball‑winning ability, recording eight tackles.

Impact on the Table

The point does little to change the Serie A landscape: Napoli remain in seventh place, while Como stay in ninth. Both teams are now four and six points respectively clear of the relegation play‑out spot, but the lack of goals in a crucial mid‑table clash will frustrate their coaches.
