Serie B Femminile 2026/27 | What a Verona performance at the 'Olivieri'! Arezzo beaten 5-0
Verona - Hellas Verona-Arezzo, Matchday 8 of the 2026/27 Serie B Femminile season, ended in a 5-0 victory for the Gialloblù.
Looking at the match action, Verona started brightly from the outset. In the 5th minute, Peretti drove forward through the middle and worked an opening for a shot, striking right-footed from distance, but Belloli gathered comfortably.
In the 12th minute, Montesi received the ball, shielded it well and laid it off for the arriving Vlassopoulou, whose right-footed effort drifted wide of the near post.
De Martino's side continued to press their opponents. In the 18th minute, Vlassopoulou delivered a cross from the right and found Santoro in the middle, but her header did not trouble the visiting defence.
In the 22nd minute, an incident inside the visitors' penalty area broke the deadlock. Montesi created space for herself and was brought down just as she was about to shoot with her left foot, winning a penalty for the Gialloblù. Peretti stepped up and calmly slotted a low right-footed effort into the corner to make it 1-0 Verona.
Arezzo responded immediately in the 24th minute. Razzolini found room inside the area and struck with her right foot, but Bucci stood tall until the very last moment and produced an excellent save low to the ground.
Verona nearly doubled their lead in the 34th minute through Santoro. Vlassopoulou played a ball in behind for the Gialloblù number 58, who found herself one-on-one with Belloli but was unable to make it 2-0 with her left-footed effort.
The Gialloblù finished the first half on the front foot. In the 42nd minute, Crespi reached the by-line and sent in a shot-cross that flew just over the crossbar.
The first half ended without added time, with Verona leading 1-0.
In the second half, Arezzo threatened through substitute Placidi in the 47th minute. Her scuffed right-footed effort was watched by Bucci as it rolled harmlessly wide.
One minute later, Montesi tried her luck herself, cutting inside from the right edge of the area and curling an effort towards the far post, but Belloli gathered comfortably.
In the 53rd minute, Hellas were dangerous again. Montesi cleverly dummied a pass, allowing Casellato to burst through the middle and strike right-footed across goal, but Belloli got down well to save.
The visitors increased their pressure and threatened Bucci's goal. In the 61st minute, Mancuso finished off a well-worked move with a curling right-footed effort towards the far post, but Bucci was alert and made the save.
Verona responded immediately and came close to a second goal in the 63rd minute. Peretti played a through ball for Colombo, whose bouncing left-footed effort flew inches over the crossbar.
The Gialloblù were finally rewarded for their efforts in the 65th minute. Colombo surged forward through the middle and unleashed a powerful left-footed strike that kissed the post before finding the net to make it 2-0.
De Martino's side continued to push and found two more goals in quick succession.
In the 67th minute, Casellato entered the area and squared the ball for Montesi, who anticipated the visiting defence at the near post and converted to make it 3-0.
Three minutes later, Verona scored their fourth. Montesi timed her run into the area perfectly and opened up her body to slot home with her left foot, completing her brace and making it 4-0 at the 'Olivieri'.
In the closing stages, the game opened up and spaces appeared all over the pitch for the home side.
In the 89th minute, Licco produced a brilliant through ball for Colombo, whose placed left-footed effort struck the inside of the post. One minute later, Licco went through one-on-one with Belloli and hit the post herself. The rebound fell kindly for Casellato, who made no mistake with her right foot to seal a 5-0 Verona victory in the 90th minute.
The match ended without added time, with the Gialloblù running out 5-0 winners.
Verona's next fixture will be on Sunday 15 November at 2.30PM, when the Gialloblù travel to face Catania at the Campo Sportivo Comunale di Nesima in the match valid for Matchday 9 of the 2026/27 Serie B Femminile season.
