The decisive clash between Juventus and AC Milan is upon us and the win against Pink Bari added some numbers to the already impressive season for the rossonere, as you can see:
She who always scores.
Valentina Giacinti is, without a doubt, one of the best strikers in Italy and her brace in the last game is another proof it. Giacinti has 12 league goals sitting second on the golden boot ranking only 4 goals shy from former Brescia teammate Cristiana Girelli, and 17 seasonal goals. Her best with the rossoneri shirt mark is 22 goal in the 2018-2019 season and with 8 league games plus the two-legged Coppa Italia semifinal yet to be played, she is bound to break this record.
Furthermore, Giacinti now has scored 15 goals against Pink Bari since becoming a rossonere, another astonishing personal mark.
Team player Tash
The other striker in the team, Natasha Dowie is proving herself to be an instrumental piece on the rossonere puzzle. Tash has now 9 goals to her name in the league, sitting fourth place on the golden boot ranking. In addition, she has provided 4 assists to goals, tied with teammates Grimshaw and Tucceri Cimini in third place in the table.
For someone who is playing for the first time in the Serie A and with a partner, Dowie is showing progress and adaptation very quickly.
Strike first, strike hard.
22 of the 42 seasonal goals (excluding 1 own goal) from AC Milan were scored in the first half and 81% of those (18 goals) before the 31 minutes mark in the game. Thus, Ganz’s team looks to score early in the game, seizing psychological advantage and imposing their game.
