Juventus 1 – 0 Fiorentina
It has been a history breaking month in women’s football. Like Barcelona, Juventus Women made their debut at the men’s stadium, receiving a record turnout in the process.
Juventus’ 39,000 attendees at the Allianz Stadium marks the continued growth of women’s football and it would come of no surprise if more teams follow suit.
Pedersen commented on her important header, in the final 10 minutes; as Juve chase the Scudetto and currently sit on top of Serie A:
“It doesn’t often happen to me, to score, and today it was really incredible. It is the most important goal of my whole career.”
Also, the club’s manager, Rita Guarino expressed what the day meant to them:
“It was a very heartfelt outing, fundamental to move one step closer in winning the championship. They made a defensive error and we immediately took advantage of it. Taking the lead and winning in front of all these people is emotional. I look back and I think of all the people who fought with me to make this sport more and more appreciated and followed: this was really an important day.”
