FC Lugano Femminile ended the first phase of the season with a 2-1 (0-0) comeback victory in Canobbio against Wil.
SOUNDNESS AS A DECISIVE FACTOR
Compared to the challenges played so far, the one against the Swiss-Easterns turns out to be the most complicated due to several factors. Especially in the midfield, the opponents manage to make a lot of movement, bringing density to the department and making it difficult to maneuver. In any case, the HCL girls do not disunite and face the appointment in a solid manner. This is despite the fact that several technical errors are made in the first half, resulting in transitions that satisfy the Wil. The intention in the resumption is to work better and, paradoxically, the advantage of the guests - sealed by Victoria Bischof (52′) - gives a wake-up call to the team, which immediately brings the contest back to a draw with Anaïs Fragnito (53′) and puts the arrow with Mathilda Andreoli (66′).
THE NUMBERS OF THE MATCH
Overall ball possession slightly favored the St. Gallenese, ahead with 55% compared to the Ticino's 45%. As for corner kicks, the guests take five against the locals' three. By contrast, the total conclusions hurled are greater for the HCL women (10 to 7, including 5 to 3 in the goal mirror).
INCREASES THE ADVANTAGE OVER THE OPPONENTS
The full stakes accumulated between home walls brings the haul gathered in the first eighteen days of the championship to 19 points. This is synonymous with eighth place. The lead over Solothurn (2-2 in Winterthur) is three points, while that over trailing runner-up Wil is four.
THE SECOND PHASE IN THE GIRLS' SIGHTS
After the first part of the championship is over, the Lugano women are waiting to know the schedule for the second phase (the issuing of the same is expected between today and tomorrow), which will start in two weeks, as next weekend will be dedicated to national selections.
COACH FRANSIOLI'S ANALYSIS: "A HEARTFELT VICTORY"
"It was a heartfelt victory. Last week against Oerlikon/Polizei we imposed ourselves because we had more desire than they did. This time the same happened, despite the fact that so many mistakes were made. However, there was a great reaction to the conceded goal. Overall, it was not a good game, but the heart put into the game by the girls was huge. Challenges like these you win them mostly this way".
