Milan Women welcomed Como Women to their home ground in the Group Stage of the Coppa Italia, and the result was a 1-1 draw. The fixture took place on 22 August 2026, and neither side could find a winner despite a competitive encounter. By then the group was already taking shape, with both clubs knowing this was only the beginning.
And here's the thing — the opening goal came early. S. Fornes fired Milan ahead in the fourth minute, and the home side held their nerve for a long spell. Como pushed back and earned a yellow card through N. Sorelli in the thirty-third minute as they tried to regain control.
The game opened up after the break with a double substitution at the fifty-sixth minute, bringing on A. Chidiac and L. Serra for Milan. Como responded at sixty-three with T. Kyvag and Park Soo-Jeong, while S. Stokic picked up a booking. A. Soffia and V. Bernardi were also cautioned later in the half.
It was not until the eightieth minute that the deadlock was broken. L. Borbye scored for Como and the visitors celebrated, having dug in through the second period. M. Bergersen had been brought on for Milan at sixty-nine, but the hosts could not find an answer in the closing stages.
The result leaves both sides level on points in Group Stage One, and the draw will feel like a point gained by each. Milan's recent form included a heavy defeat to Turin Women, while Como had just lost 2-0 to Juventus. To be fair, this draw offers both clubs something to build on before the next round.
