Serie A Women A New Beginning, No Gifts
Matchday 10 of Serie A Women opened the footballing year 2026, and from the first whistle it was clear that the new calendar would not bring any relief. After an intense and emotionally charged Matchday 9 in December, teams returned to action carrying the same pressure, ambitions, and unresolved questions.
It was a round defined by fine margins, several draws, and further confirmation that both the title race and the battle for survival are entering a decisive phase.
Parma W – AC Milan W 0:0
No goals, but not without meaning
The first match of 2026 ended goalless, yet it was far from empty. Parma and Milan approached the game with caution, prioritizing organization and discipline.
For the Rossonere, it marked a slight slowdown after a solid end to the year, while Parma collected a point that could prove extremely valuable in their fight for stability.
Fiorentina W – Genoa W 1:1
Drama until the final moments
Fiorentina took the lead just before the break through Emma Severini from the penalty spot and looked in control for long stretches. Genoa, however, refused to give in and were rewarded late on when Birta Georgsdóttir found the equaliser in the closing minutes.
It is a result that feels more satisfying for Genoa, underlining their resilience and belief. For Fiorentina, it is a frustrating loss of two points in a match they largely controlled.
Napoli W – Como Women 0:0
Patience over risk
A match in which both sides focused primarily on defensive solidity. Napoli were compact and disciplined, while Como once again showed their pragmatic identity. The lack of goals does not fully reflect the intensity of the midfield battles, but the draw appears fair.
Roma W – Sassuolo W 2:1
Leaders show their maturity
Roma began the new year exactly as they ended the old one, with a victory. An early goal gave them confidence, but Sassuolo responded well and kept the contest alive deep into the second half. The decisive strike from Alice Corelli highlighted Roma’s ability to remain calm and clinical when it mattered most.
Ternana W – Lazio W 1:0
A win that builds belief
Ternana claimed a hugely important three points, deciding the match in the closing stages. It is a victory that could prove vital for confidence and momentum in the weeks ahead. For Lazio, the defeat increases the pressure as the margin for error continues to shrink.
Inter Milano W – Juventus W 2:1
A powerful statement to start the year
The standout fixture of the round delivered on expectations. Juventus struck early, but Inter responded with intensity, structure, and conviction. Goals from Karolína Vilhjálmsdóttir and Marija Milinković secured a statement win for the Nerazzurre, reinforcing their place among the league’s elite and confirming the strong form they carried over from December.
Matchday 10 Summary
The first round of the new year made it clear that Serie A Women is not slowing down in 2026. Roma and Inter continue to set the pace, Juventus are left searching for answers, and the margins at the bottom of the table are becoming increasingly tight.
Following the drama of Matchday 9 in December, Matchday 10 felt like a natural continuation, uncompromising, intense, and increasingly decisive in shaping the narrative of the season.
