Serie B Femminile 2026/27 | Hellas win 0-2 at San Marino

Verona - San Marino Academy-Hellas Verona ended 0-2 on Matchday 5 of Serie B Femminile 2026/27.

Looking back at the match action, the Gialloblù started strong in the 4th minute through Maffei on the right, who smartly carved out space to deliver a low cross that Montesi missed connecting with on a slide by mere inches.

The hosts threatened in the 16th minute through Capellupo: the number 14 received the ball at the left edge of the penalty box and unleashed an inswinging effort that curled just wide of the right post defended by Bucci.

In the 34th minute, Hellas broke the deadlock. Vlassopoulou whipped in a looping cross from the right towards which Boaglio rushed out for a high claim. After catching the ball in mid-air, the number 77 collided with a teammate, spilling possession. Santoro pounced on the loose ball to tap home into an empty net for the Gialloblù lead.

Late in the half, Hellas created a double chance: within two minutes, the Gialloblù registered shots first through Montesi from the edge of the area, and then via a slick one-two between Zito and Colombo that sent the latter through on goal. In both instances, however, the scoreline remained unchanged.

Following 3 minutes of stoppage time, the first half ended 0-1.

In the second half, the Gialloblù doubled their advantage at the first opportunity. In the 55th minute, Crespi spearheaded a counterattack down the left and picked out Colombo, who was stationed in the center of the box to power home a header for Verona’s second.

In the 58th minute, riding the wave of momentum, Merli went on a solo run from the attacking third to the edge of the penalty area, letting fly with an angled right-footed strike. The Scaligera midfielder’s effort rattled against the post and rebounded back into play.

San Marino Academy looked shaken: in the 60th minute, Boaglio played a poor pass through the middle during buildup from the back, allowing Colombo to intercept; one-on-one with the goalkeeper, however, she skied her effort, squandering the chance to put the game out of reach.

In the 68th minute, the Sammarinese side tried to respond with a central drive from Tamburini from the edge of the box, which caused Bucci no trouble.

A flurry of substitutions midway through the second half disrupted the match's tempo, and the final twenty minutes produced few notable chances. Hellas comfortably managed their lead and repelled the hosts' late push, with San Marino rarely managing to threaten the Gialloblù goalkeeper.

In the 86th minute, with the result already wrapped up, Ketis tried her luck from distance with a low drive that was comfortably collected by Boaglio.

Following 4 minutes of stoppage time, the match concluded with a 0-2 scoreline, sealing the first away victory of the season for coach De Martino’s side.

Verona’s next fixture takes place on Saturday, October 24 at 3:00 PM, when the Gialloblù host Genoa at the 'Olivieri' Stadium on Matchday 6 of Serie B Femminile 2026/27.
