2026/27 Women's Serie B | Match against Moncalieri ends goalless

Verona - Hellas Verona-Moncalieri ended in a 0-0 draw on Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 Women's Serie B.

Getting into the match action, the Piedmontese side had the first opportunity in the 2nd minute through Zanni, who dispossessed Avant in the attacking third. The number 28 struck from distance, but Valzolgher was untroubled.

Hellas threatened for the first time in the 9th minute through De Biase. The Gialloblù midfielder collected the ball at the edge of the box and went for a low, angled drive, finding Milone reliable in goal.

Moncalieri turned dangerous in the 10th minute when Repetti burst down the right and crossed for Girotto, who beat everyone to the near post; however, the Gialloblù goalkeeper denied her with a crucial, instinctive close-range save.

In the 17th minute, Peretti linked up with Casellato on the edge of the area and played a first-time pass through to Montesi, who was stopped right as she was about to pull the trigger by Milone rushing off her line.

Verona continued to grow into the game in the 20th minute: De Biase tested the keeper again with a curling right-footed effort from the edge of the area. Milone read the intentions well and got down cleanly to gather low to her left.

Repetti kept pushing down the right flank in the 32nd minute, sending another cutback inside for Zanni. The number 28 beat Valzolgher with a low, first-time finish, but the goal was ruled out for offside, keeping the score level at 0-0.

The momentum swung back to the Piedmontese side, who threatened again in the 34th minute, though Mellano failed to angle her strike from a promising position. On the counter-attack, De Biase registered her third attempt of the game, pouncing on a loose clearance at the edge of the box, but Milone was once again equal to it.

In the 38th minute, Santoro shook off Zanni inside the Moncalieri box but could not pick out Casellato with the cutback, squandering a clear opening.

During the two minutes of stoppage time, Moncalieri had the final chance of the half: Girotto latched onto a loose ball at the edge of the six-yard box, but could not direct her attempt on target from close range. After two added minutes, the first half ended 0-0.

Moncalieri started the second half on the front foot as Mellano clipped the crossbar in the 49th minute with a drive from the edge of the penalty area.

In the 50th minute, De Biase pounced on a loose ball following a duel between Colombo and Devoto in the attacking third. The number 16 unleashed a first-time strike from 25 meters, denied only by an outstanding save from Milone, who tipped it behind for a corner.

Past the hour mark, the match opened up as both sides stretched the pitch, leading to several transitions. In the 66th minute, Colombo received a delivery from Cuciniello at the edge of the box and directed a central strike into the arms of Milone.

In the 84th minute, Verona created their best opportunity of the second half. Montesi hit a left-footed volley from the edge of the area, but the shot was kept out by a superb reflex save from the Moncalieri goalkeeper.

The final minutes belonged to the Gialloblù: Santoro had two chances within a two-minute span to win the game, but missed the target with her left foot on both occasions.

In the 87th minute, Moncalieri had the match's final big chance as Iannaccone struck from the edge of the area, hitting the crossbar courtesy of a vital tip from Valzolgher to prevent the goal.

Following four minutes of added time, the match ended 0-0.

Verona's next fixture will take place on Sunday, October 18, at 4:00 PM, when the Gialloblù travel to face San Marino Academy on Matchday 5 of the 2026/27 Women's Serie B.
