Despite their best efforts, Lazio Women fell in a tough 2-1 derby loss to rivals Roma Women.

Lazio Women reacted well though, with Noemi Visentin pulling one back in the 35th minute, before Adriana Martin scored the equaliser from the penalty spot in the 59th minute.

Unfortunately for Massimiliano Catini’s side, their hard work was not enough to secure some points, with Benedetta Glionna finding the winner in the 73rd minute.
