A defeat for the Venezia FC Lionesses on Matchday 9 of the 2026/27 Serie B Women’s Championship. The match, played this afternoon at 2:30 pm at the Ca’ Venezia Sports Centre, ended 0-2 in favour of Frosinone, thanks to Majer’s brace in the second half. The Arancioneroverdi pushed forward, particularly in the first half, coming close to taking the lead on several occasions, but were unable to find the back of the net.
The first big chance of the match for Petruzzelli’s side came just 1 minute into the game, when Zuanti raced towards the opposition goal but, despite a brilliant run with the ball at her feet, was unable to get past Karresmaa. Frosinone responded and threatened Scotti’s goal in the 6th minute with a header from Burbassi and again in the 9th minute through Majer, but on both occasions they were denied by the Arancioneroverdi goalkeeper. The game was played at a good tempo, with plenty of end-to-end action, and in the 16th minute the Lionesses pushed forward again: a lovely combination between Zuanti and Volpatti was stopped by a last-ditch clearance from the opposition defence. In the 19th minute, Frosinone came close to taking the lead when Costa’s shot struck the crossbar. The Lionesses responded first through Volpatti, who was once again denied by a last-ditch intervention, and then through Zuanti, whose effort was saved by the visiting goalkeeper. In the 36th minute, Frosinone threatened again with a long-range effort from Ferrato, comfortably dealt with by Scotti. In the 41st minute, another great opportunity came for Petruzzelli’s side: Zuanti was once again the protagonist, breaking forward from the halfway line, winning a challenge and shooting towards goal, only to be denied by a defender's goal-line clearance. The move continued, with Volpatti collecting the rebound, but she was unable to get a clean shot away. The first half therefore ended 0-0, despite numerous chances at both ends.
The first opportunity of the second half fell to Frosinone in the 5th minute, when Capitanelli delivered a cross for Ferrato, who shot from inside the box but was denied by Scotti. The Lionesses responded in the 12th minute with an effort from Volpatti from the edge of the box, which Karresmaa dealt with confidently. In the 15th minute, Venezia pushed forward once again with a solo run from Spinelli down the right flank. She delivered a cross into the box, but the visiting defence managed to clear the ball behind for a corner. In the 23rd minute of the second half, the turning point of the match arrived: following a scramble inside the Venezia penalty area, Scotti made a save, pushing the ball onto the post, but Majer was quickest to react to the rebound and put Frosinone ahead. Just 3 minutes later, the visitors doubled their lead, with Majer once again finding the net after capitalising on a loose ball inside the box that the home side had failed to deal with, before beating Scotti for the second time. The Lionesses struggled to recover from the setback and tried to respond in the closing stages, but were unable to find the goal that would have brought them back into the game. After 4 minutes of added time, the match came to an end, with Frosinone securing a 0-2 victory.
