Bianconere held at Ternana
The Juventus Women’s First Team were held to a 2-2 draw away to Ternana on Serie A Women Matchday 15.
THE MATCH REPORT
The game started well for the Bianconere, and the first big chance of the afternoon came after eight minutes. Amalie Vangsgaard drove through the home defence and struck, but Katja Schroffenegger turned it away with her feet.
It took a while then for the Bianconere to break down their hosts again, and it took a moment of individual excellence from Abi Brighton to open the scoring just before the half-hour mark. Tatiana Pinto did well in midfield to open things up for her midfield companion, who then strode forward in posession before firing into the top corner from distance, leaving Schroffenegger hopeless in goal.
The second came shortly after. Stepping out of defence, Viola Calligaris played a stunning defence-splitting ball that set Ana Capeta in on goal and, with Schroffenegger coming to close her down, the no.7 cleverly lifted the ball over the Ternana ‘keeper with a first-touch finish that trickled into the back of the net.
Before the break, though, Valeria Pirone converted a penalty to halve the deficit.
After the break, it was Ternana who threatened the most. Larissa Rusek had to be alert to deny Pirone a second, and the veteran forward later hit the crossbar with a header.
Ternana found their second and the equalising goal moments after that, with Giada Pellegrino Cimo showing tidy footwork in a crowded area to finish.
As time ticked away Chiara Beccari looked to force something, but after teeing up Lindsey Thomas at the back post the latter sent her effort into the side netting.
In the 90th minute, Barbara Bonansea tried from range, but without success. Beccari herself had the game’s last attempt, but her left-footed strike was off target.

Buffalo Bills defensive end Greg Rousseau saw a positive review from Pro Football Focus for his efforts during the 2025 NFL season.
While the Bills were not the most attacking defense for opposing quarterbacks they faced last season, Rousseau did lead the team in that category by registering seven sacks. Rousseau, 25, has also long been touted as a strong run defender by PFF over the years.
All in all, his efforts saw Rousseau skyrocket up PFF's annual top-101 NFL players last this offseason. A year ago at this time, Rousseau barely cracked the list at No. 96 overall.
Now Rousseau is up to No. 64 after the 2025 season.
PFF's full breakdown on Rousseau can be found below;
Rousseau tallied an 80.0-plus PFF overall grade for the fourth straight season in 2025, with his 86.3 mark ranking eighth among edge defenders. He excelled against the run, where he topped the position in PFF run-defense grade (85.1). Rousseau also racked up 63 quarterback pressures as a pass rusher.

Jessica Pegula gives verdict on Alex Eala’s presence and value for tennis
Jessica Pegula added another title to her collection last night, beating Elina Svitolina to win the Dubai Tennis Championships.
Pegula came through a tough week to finish on top, overcoming an in-form opponent without too much trouble.
But while the 31-year-old American took home the title, Alexandra Eala had already made her mark earlier in the tournament.
Eala once again drew large crowds wherever she played, and her impact was felt throughout the week. Her influence even reached into Pegula’s press conference after the final.
Jessica Pegula says Alexandra Eala’s rise in tennis is different to anything she has seen
Asked about the Filipina teenager who has been making headlines with her growing following, Pegula spoke positively about Eala’s influence.
The world number five highlighted how impressed she has been by Eala’s maturity and composure, saying: “Yeah, Alex is amazing.
“The way she’s been able to pack stadiums and the way her country supports her is something special. She handles it so maturely, with such grace. She seems so appreciative of all the support she gets. Always seems to have a good head on her shoulders and a good attitude about it.
“It’s amazing. I played her when she kind of broke out last year in Miami. I’m from there. The whole crowd was against me. I was like, What on earth is going on? Where did these people come from?
“Week after week as she has done well and established herself as a really good player on tour, they all come out to support her. I think we saw that in Australia, when it was kind of overcrowded, they put her on too small of a court.
“We saw it here. You can hear it from the hotel. You can hear the crowd roaring at night. It’s incredible. I think it’s awesome for what she’s doing for the sport. She’s a perfect role model for it. I’m sure she wants to inspire girls, Filipino girls, to play tennis and go after their dream. It’s awesome for the sport. Yeah, it’s really, really cool. I think we just had a tournament there that she played.”
Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula have similar praise for Alexandra Eala
Even though Eala has only been on the professional tour for just under a year, her impact is already turning heads across tennis.
Her fanbase is not just large; it is among the most passionate in sport and it seems to be getting louder with every tournament she enters.
Pegula noted that one of the most impressive things about Eala isn’t just her growing popularity, but how calmly she handles the weight of expectation from so many people looking to her for inspiration.
Coco Gauff noticed that same composure during their recent match, saying afterwards: “I’d like to thank Alex for bringing a new demographic to the sport. I really appreciate it. I think it’s great.
“I know sometimes it’s tough when you’re playing against a ‘home’ crowd, but I think that it’s great for the sport, so keep being enthusiastic, and keep rooting for your player.”
