Super Falcons’ attacker Onyi Echegini and her Juventus Femminile teammates bounced back with a resounding victory after a setback against Roma last weekend in the Italian Serie A women’s league. This victory keeps their title hopes alive after a disappointing loss last week.

Juventus dominated early on, with Echegini nearly heading home the opener from a pinpoint cross by Lisa Boattin. However, they were unable to capitalize on their chances, and Sassuolo took a surprise lead in the 55th minute through Chiara Beccari’s well-placed shot.

Despite falling behind, Juventus didn’t give up. Boattin equalized for the Bianconere in the 68th minute with a beautiful free kick. Just 12 minutes later, Paulina Nyström secured the win for Juventus with a close-range finish following a corner.

This crucial victory keeps Onyi Echegini and her teammates in second place, with 50 points from 22 games. However, they trail league leaders Roma Femminile by 11 points. Juventus will need to win their remaining matches and hope Roma falters to have any chance of claiming the Serie A title.

Their next challenge comes in the form of 5th-placed Internazionale Femminile in matchday 23. A win here is essential for Juventus to keep their title hopes
