Ajax 1 - 1 Roma

Un pareggio senza emozioni, viziato dalle molte assenze e da un poca voglia di giocare.
È Halloween, si sa, le scarpe da calcio e i pantaloncini sono stati sostituiti da anfibi e divise da scheletri, ma lo spettacolo del gioco ne risente parecchio. Allison porta in vantaggio l'Ajax, dopo un tocco di braccio di Matilde. La stessa Matilde si invola sulla fascia e fulmina con un bel destro la brava Michelle tra i pali, portando il punteggio sul definitivo 1-1.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH POINTS: Matilde 6, Allison 4, Grace 3, Gaia Z 3, Mia 3, Annie 2, Gaia DR 2, Chiara 1, Benedetta 1, Maisie 1, Donya 1.

Bayern Munich 4-1 Juventus

After dominating the opening exchanges, with Gabriele and Aden each hitting the post within 10 seconds and Lapo missing from 3 meters out, Bayern found themselves 1-0 down when Taro broke quickly down the left, crossed to the middle and Daniel tapped home.
The German champions almost equalised through Gabriele but Federico made a fine save. Then Daniel conceded a free kick and picked up a yellow card after fouling Alex and Aden punished Juve with the free-kick: 1-1.
Juve came back into track immediately:  Taro hit the bar, Daniel was denied by Tiberio and, at the other end, Lorenzo scuffed a shot past the year post.
Bayern began the 2nd half strongly and Lapo scored a fantastic goal after drifting past three defenders and shooting with his left foot. Federico then almost scored when he leaped high at a corner but his header hit the post.
Bayern then sealed their victory with two late goals through Aden and Gabriele.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Gabriele 6, Lapo 5, Taro 4, Aden 3, Federico 3, Giuseppe 2, Daniel 2, Ale N 2, Tiberio 1

Manchester Utd 2-2 Roma

La Roma debutta alla grande nel torneo femminile con un convincente pareggio contro lo United, mostrando grande compattezza e buona qualità. Notevole la prima impressione rilasciata dalle esordienti Annalise, Gaia, Virginia...
Al gol di Francesca nel primo tempo risponde Mia. Nel secondo tempo, combattuto con grande intensità dalle due formazioni, prima il palo clamoroso di Nathalie, poi qualche batti e ribatti. Nel finale - con Matilde infortunata - Lucrezia trova il guizzo vincente e mette in rete da due passi. La partita si fa difficile per le Italiane, ma proprio nel finale da un fallo laterale battuto con prontezza da Helena, Annalise inventa un pallonetto che beffa Virginia e sigla il 2-2 finale.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH POINTS:

Leila E 6, Mia 5, Lucrezia 5, Francesca 3, Gaia 2, Helena 1, Grace 1, Nathalie 1, Annie 1, Matilde 1, Benedetta 1, Sofia DM 1.

Paris SG 5-2 juventus

A high-energy, attacking, adventurous match ended with a deserved win for the French Champions after they turned a slow start into a champagne finish.
Juventus seemed to be in charge of the game in the first half but were puzzled to find themselves 2-0 down after Thomas buried a fine header from a Nathan corner and then Nathan himself drove in an unstoppable shot from 20 meters out.
Daniel pulled one bacl with a great solo effort, spinning away from his marker on the right and slipping the ball into the corner of the net.
But Manfredi restored his team's two goal advantage... twice: once after Daniel's goal and then again - with a lovely cheeky finish from the left corner - after Giuseppe had scored the Italians' second.
Manfredi completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot after a hand-ball by Giuseppe in the box.
BEST PLAYER POINTS: Nathan 7, Manfredi 6, Giuseppe 3, Nico 2, Federico 2, Daniel 2, Thomas 2, Julian 2, Raphael 1, Ale N 1

Bayern Munich 9-1 Chelsea

Chelsea slumped to a second heavy defeat and Antonio Conte looks like being the first manager to lose his job in this year's Intramural.
An avalanche of goals from the Germans seems to have buried any chance of Chelsea advancing to the finals... unless they can quickly turn their season around and win their last two games.
Bayern impressed with some slick passing and clinical finishing. Best goal of the day was probably Alex's second, when he got on the end of a beautiful through pass from Lapo, controlled the ball expertly and rounded the keeper.

BEST PLAYER POINTS: Lapo 7, Aden 5, Gabriele 5, Alex 2, Tristano 2, Lorenzo 1, Jacopo 1, Gustav 1
