AS Roma full-back Lucia Di Guglielmo had put the Azzurre ahead in the first half, but the hosts responded soon after to go in level at the break courtesy of a Jutta Rantala strike. Young Como Women forward Oona Sevenius scored the winner for Finland, aided by a big diversion as Elena Linari looked to swipe the ball away from goal.

The result leaves all four teams in League A Group 1 level on three points after two matchdays.
