Como Women beats Fiorentina 2-0 with a double from Kerr
Como Women beats Fiorentina 2-0 in the match of the 14th round of women's Serie A eBay. At Ferruccio di Seregno, the girls coached by Stefano Sottili achieve their first historic Serie A victory against the Tuscan team and consolidate fifth place in the standings, climbing to 22 points.
The first half begins uphill with Gilardi immediately engaged in three very important saves against Janogy, Curmark, and Bonfantini. The Larians, after the strong start in the opening minutes by De La Fuente's team, grow and try to trouble the Viola with long-range shots from Nischler and Karlernäs.
In the second half, Como Women grows, and with Zara Kramzar, who entered in the 65th minute, becomes even more dangerous, first with a low shot skimming the far post of the opposing goalkeeper, then with a long-range shot that hits the crossbar. However, Como's goal is in the air, and a few minutes later, in the 78th minute, Alexandra Kerr finds the lead with a powerful shot just outside the area that slots into the top corner. The second goal comes in the 90th minute again with the American who gives the final 2-0 to Sottili's team, achieving her first double in the Italian championship.
The words of Alexandra Kerr
These were the words at the end of the match from Alexandra Kerr, scoring her first double in Serie A and MVP of the match: “This is an immense victory for the team. We have to be proud of how we played and at the same time endured during the game. I believe it was one of the best matches we've played so far, we were good at both the defensive and offensive phases: we fought until the end.”

Stefano Sottili’s analysis
“This victory gives continuity to the girls' growth path, to their weekly work that leads the group to have awareness and confidence in matches like this” declared the coach after the match. “Thanks to the work during the week, they manage to perform like this. I'm talking about performances beyond the result because in the past we have already played at high levels but achieved less than we deserved. I'm happy because, for the first time this season, we managed to get some points with a high-ranking team, hoping it's not the last time of course. The girls were really good, it was the team's victory, the group's, everyone contributed, everyone was involved and participative.”
About Lena Hansen, who arrived during the week and immediately started in defence: “The girls were also good at putting Hansen, who arrived two days ago, in a position to perform more than positively on her Serie A debut.”
On Kerr's first goal: "From the bench, we were saying there was a girl down, then the play continued, and Alexandra executed a great strike that concluded in a magnificent goal."
On Zara Kramzar, who returned to the field after a long break: "She had particular issues that I hope she has resolved with the great work of the medical staff. There was never any doubt about her qualities. I believe that when she stands out for this type of play and eagerness, she is an extra asset that Como has at its disposal."
On the improvement in results compared to the first half of the season: "In the first part of the season, we were told we were doing well, but we didn't bring home what we deserved in terms of points. We are growing, and I also told this to the girls, analysing the match in Genoa with Samp. That victory was no accident; at the start of the season, we wouldn't have won it. But now the players have a different attitude, they believe, they never give up, and they are always inclined to seek the maximum. And they have been rewarded."
On Gilardi's performance and the continuation of the championship: "Fiorentina gave us some trouble, but Astrid was fantastic; she saved everything and provided security at the back, but Como Women deserved this victory. We had our chances, both before and after Kerr's first goal: we hit the crossbar with Kramzar, and Skorvankova came onto the field very well. There are conditions to continue delivering this type of performance."

A new initiative at the stadium: the FansCam
Today, F.C. Como Women have taken an important step towards the future by becoming the first women's team in Italy to introduce the FansCam, an innovative project designed to actively engage fans at the stadium. Before the match, fans were invited to take photos in a dedicated area, capturing their presence and passion for the team. During the half-time interval, the images were displayed on the Jumbotron at the Ferruccio Stadium in Seregno, creating an engaging moment of interaction with the audience.
Moreover, this initiative offered the opportunity to win official club merchandise by participating in a raffle, making the experience even more exciting and unique. An initiative that put the fans at the centre of the action, strengthening the bond between the team and its community, today also represented by the Mayor of Como Alessandro Rapinese, who was present in the stands.
