Champions League Women, HB Koge-Juve 1-1: the return will be decisive

Juve did not go beyond par in Denmark in the first leg of the preliminary of the Women’s Champions League. On the field of HB Koge it ends 1-1, access to the European groups will therefore be decided next Wednesday at Moccagatta in Alessandria (20.30). The first 90 minutes made it clear that to move forward we will need to do a little more, defending with order and making the greater offensive qualities prevail over the opponents. However, they should not be underestimated.

DANESI FORWARD

–

Montemurro operates a large turnover by recovering Sembrant and Lenzini central and Cantore the only offensive reference, Gunnarsdottir stops during the warm-up and then Caruso is recalled in extremis to shield the defense. The bianconere try to unblock it immediately with Boattin and Cantore, but they are pierced at the first restart by Carusa, who serves Pokorny the ball of the advantage after just eight minutes.

DRAW JUVE

–

Juve have the merit of not disuniting, keep the ball and occupy the opposing half of the pitch. A territorial supremacy that leaves room for some other hint of counter-attack by the Danes but proves effective to get the same with Nilden, in just over a quarter of an hour: winning header by the Swede on a ball worked first by Boattin and then by Zamanian. Then Grosso, at the end of the first part, almost doubled from afar.

EQUILIBRIUM

–

The home team is definitely more proactive in the second half. The double ring in the first few minutes with Marcussen (who hits the crossbar) and immediately after with Floe (Peyraud-Magnin parade) was significant. Juve, on the other hand, tries to hurt with the fresh forces that take over from the bench, but neither Beerensteyn nor Pedersen (returning to his country of origin after a long injury) manage to hit the mark. It ends like this 1-1: appointment in 8 days.
