First victory of 2025 and second consecutive positive result for Catania Women, able to win 3-1 on the field of Giovanile Rocca in the last round of the first leg of group C of the women's Serie C championship. Marem Ndiongue stood out, thanks to the brace that directed the match: in the first half, the 2000-born forward took advantage of an assist from Alessia Cammarata; in the second half, she calmly beat the opposing goalkeeper. An unfortunate own goal by Vetere reopened the match for only two minutes, before the securing goal signed by Carlotta Sciuto and set up by a great play from Marika Picchirallo, among those called up for the Under 20 National Women's Representative gathering. On Sunday, January 26, Pietrini and her teammates will be away again, against Siracusa.
