Samp Women clinch win in historic opener

Samp Women’s first-ever Serie A TIMVISION match ended in victory at the Campo Aquile in Formello against Lazio Women. Antonio Cincotta’s side recorded an impressive 2-1 win to kick off the season in style thanks to goals by the Latin American duo of Ana Lucia Martinez and Yoreli Rincon.

The opening goal was scored in the 11th minute when the Guatemalan fired past Stephanie Ohrstrom to make history as the team’s maiden goalscorer in the top flight. There were no further goals in the first half, although both sides spurned chances along the way.

Doria were fast out of the blocks at the start of the second half and doubled their advantage just three minutes in when Rincon fired an unstoppable drive into the top corner from the edge of the box. Antonietta Castiello cut the arrears with just under 15 minutes left on the clock, but the visitors held on for three key historic points.
