Häcken vs Juventus Women: Juve Secure First UWCL Win with 3-0 Victory

Overcoming a Scrappy First Half in Göteborg

Manager Massimiliano Guerrero watched his side survive a testing opening period on the artificial turf in Sweden. The Juventus attack showed early intent through Alba Redondo and Stølen Godø, but the home side steadily grew into the match.

Pinto Breaks the Deadlock After the Break

Juventus shifted the momentum immediately after the interval, playing with sharper movement in the final third. The breakthrough arrived in the 57th minute when Amaiur Sarriegi danced past her marker inside the penalty area and pulled a precise pass back to Tatiana Pinto. The Portuguese midfielder drove her right-footed shot past goalkeeper Jennifer Falk to put the Italian side ahead.

With the lead established, the Bianconere continued to press.

Godø and Redondo Seal the 3-0 Result

In the 77th minute, Juventus doubled their advantage. Martina Schatzer floated an accurate free-kick toward the far post, where Stølen Godø met it with a firm cross-header past the Häcken defense. A subsequent VAR review confirmed the goal, making it 2-0.

Reflecting on the match, Stølen Godø noted in post-match comments covered by Zazoom that it was an important victory on a difficult surface, particularly following the opening loss to Benfica. “Three goals and three points, let’s keep going,” she said regarding the artificial pitch.

Alba Redondo added the final flourish in the 88th minute. Capitalizing on a swift counterattack, Redondo chased down a long ball, won her physical duel against the Häcken central defenders, and slotted past the goalkeeper to cap off the 3-0 victory.

Group Stage Standings and Upcoming Fixtures

The emphatic win awards Juventus their first three points of the continental campaign, lifting morale following their initial setback in the tournament. The team now turns its attention back to domestic commitments before the next round of European fixtures in the UEFA Women’s Champions League league stage.
