Thea Kyvåg and Monica Renzotti overturned Lenzini’s opener, which had come with just under a quarter of an hour left on the clock. It was a win the Rossonere ended up deserving, because they had been the better side before Juve’s first goal.
Milan found the equaliser through Kyvåg, who raced through on goal and beat Rusek with a calm finish. Then, on the next attack, Renzotti curled a stunning left-footed strike beyond the goalkeeper to spark jubilant celebrations.
