Key Moments (FIFA Match Report)
First half — Gallo own goal (40')
Elena Belli had already made several saves for Italy. Daniela Agote's cross deflected off Azzurra Gallo; Belli could not prevent the own goal — the breakthrough FIFA highlighted as "a stroke of misfortune" for the Azzurrine.
Italy responded: Laia López denied Irune Dorado an own goal at the other end; Paola Fadda tested López before half-time.
Second half — Comendador doubles lead (56')
A counter from López's clearance found Agote, whose low cross was finished by Pau Comendador — her sixth goal of Poland 2026 and a lead in the adidas Golden Boot race at that stage.
Agote had a later goal disallowed for a Rosalia Domínguez handball in the build-up (VAR).
