Juventus Women Open Cup Campaign with Clinical 2-0 Win Over Como 2000 Women
Juventus Women started their Serie A Cup Women campaign in confident fashion, defeating Como 2000 Women 2-0 on 22 August 2026. The match, part of the Italian women's cup competition, saw the Bianconere control the tempo from start to finish and punish a resilient Como side with two well-taken goals.
For Juventus, the victory represented more than just three points in the cup group table — it was a statement of intent from a squad aiming to lift silverware this season. Como 2000 Women, meanwhile, will take heart from their organised defensive display, even if they ultimately lacked the firepower to trouble one of Italy's most decorated women's clubs.
Match Overview
Juventus dominated possession from the opening whistle, dictating the rhythm with patient build-up play and constant movement in the final third. Como 2000 sat deep and looked to absorb pressure, relying on quick transitions to spring their attackers forward. The first clear chance came in the 14th minute when Juventus forced a sharp save from the Como goalkeeper, setting the tone for what would be a long afternoon for the visitors.
The breakthrough arrived just before the half-hour mark. A well-worked combination down the right flank ended with a precise cross into the box, and a composed close-range finish gave Juventus the lead. The goal calmed any early nerves and allowed the home side to double down on their attacking intent, with Como forced to defend for extended spells.
Second Goal and Game Management
Juventus pressed for a second goal after the interval, and their persistence paid off in the 67th minute. A corner kick was met by a towering header at the near post, sending the ball into the back of the net and effectively killing off the contest. The away side rallied briefly, winning a few free-kicks in dangerous areas, but the Juventus backline remained composed and limited Como to long-range efforts.
The final twenty minutes were a lesson in game management from the Turin side. They kept the ball away from danger, slowed the tempo, and saw out the match without conceding a single shot on target in the second half. The 2-0 final scoreline was a fair reflection of Juventus's superiority in attack and defence.
