Roma Women 2-2 Fiorentina: Andressa salvages late draw

The Giallorossi, looking to bounce back after last weekend's late defeat against AC Milan, put in a spirited display to deny another rival in the race for the Champions League places - coming from behind twice to secure a deserved point.

After Amalie Thestrup bundled home from close range to cancel out Lisa De Vanna's opener in the first half, it was left to Andressa to turn the game in the final minutes - following substitute Stephanie Breitner's header midway through the second half.

A first-half penalty save from Camelia Ceasar seemed to change the momentum of the match - Betty Bavagnoli's side, then already 1-0 down, responded positively from that moment forward.

In the second half they had countless chances to secure the win, even before Breitner converted against the run of play.

In the end, it was left to Andressa to at least ensure the Giallorosse avoided defeat.

“I really liked the reaction the girls showed, putting the Milan game behind them and not settling for less,” Bavagnoli said afterwards.

“We are a strong group and we showed that today. I’m satisfied because this Roma side isn’t the one we saw against Milan – it’s much more like this side, and they can do even more.”
