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.
Super Falcons winger Rinsola Babajide was involved in the latter part of the contest, introduced from the bench as Roma looked to stretch Milan’s back line and manage the closing stages with fresh legs.
The Nigerian international operated on the flank after coming on, adding direct running as the league leaders sought to close out a valuable home win.
The fixture formed part of a demanding February schedule for Luca Rossettini’s side, who entered the match sitting first in the standings.
For Babajide, the appearance continued her involvement in Roma’s domestic campaign following a series of notable moments earlier in the season. Just a week before the Milan encounter, the London-born forward scored a late header to rescue a 3–3 draw away to Parma.
