Roma Women defeated Lazio Women 1-0 thanks to a stunning strike from Di Guglielmo in the 29th minute of the first half, reclaiming top spot after a solid performance throughout the Capital City derby.

Match Report: Roma vs Lazio Women
Roma started stronger, taking control of the game and creating several good chances – with both Giugliano and Greggi denied by the crossbar. As mentioned, it was Di Guglielmo who broke the deadlock with a thunderous left-footed shot that surprised Lazio goalkeeper Durante. She improved in the second half, denying Greggi and Rieke the joy of scoring.
On the other end, Karczewska squandered a promising opportunity from the middle of the box. Rieke also came close with a right-footed effort, but Benoît was alert and cleared the ball off the line. In the final minutes, Roma saw their potential 2-0 goal disallowed due to a foul by Greggi on D’Auria. However, Lazio failed to capitalize on the momentum and push for an equalizer, despite Piemonte‘s late chance in the 93rd minute.
