A feat by Piedmontese Girotto gave Moncalieri a narrow victory over Catania Women. Silvestro Reitano's team suffered a defeat in their debut after a solid performance in a very close match, featuring a couple of clear chances on both sides; Tamburini and Termentini were the closest to scoring among the Rossazzurre. Next Sunday, the first match at home is scheduled against Bologna.
