AS Roma Women secured a narrow 1–0 win over AC Milan on Sunday, 8 February 2026, at the Stadio Tre Fontane, a result that kept the capital club top of the Serie A Femminile table, Footynaija.com reports.
The decisive moment of the contest was in the 66th minute when Valentina Bergamaschi found the net for the Giallorosse. The Italy international struck after sustained second half pressure from the hosts, breaking the deadlock in a game that had been evenly balanced for long spells.
Roma’s control of the match became clearer shortly before the goal when AC Milan were reduced to ten players. Dutch midfielder Kayleigh van Dooren was sent off around the hour mark following a challenge that prompted intervention from the referee, leaving the Rossonere to play the final stages a player down as they tried to protect a goalless scoreline.
