The Swiss women’s national team lost 0-1 once morest Italy in their first appearance in the Nations League. Arianna Caruso scored the only goal once morest a Swiss team that was mostly harmless offensively.
It might have been a nice story that Friday evening in St. Gallen. Alayah Pilgrim, 20-year-old FC Zurich offensive player, had only been on the field for a few minutes when she appeared alone in front of the Italian goal, perfectly staged by Ramona Bachmann. But the debutant’s shot hit the post and Switzerland lost 1-0.
It is the third defeat for the Swiss in their eleventh game under the leadership of national coach Inka Grings, who once once more saw a team that had difficulty in attack. Defender Nadine Riesen recorded the best attacks in attack for a long time with two shots from distance.
Now Spain is waiting
Only following the SFV selection fell behind following a good hour due to a well-placed long shot from Arianna Caruso did they gradually become more confident. The Italians, who had to travel home following the preliminary round at the last World Cup in Australia and New Zealand, were in real trouble, but in the first game under their new coach Andrea Soncin, they were too rarely seen by Switzerland.
In addition to Pilgrim, another young player in the Swiss ensemble, Smilla Vallotto, celebrated her debut in the national team, which is now threatening to come under pressure with this annoying defeat in order to be able to avert relegation from League A. The away game once morest world champions Spain is scheduled for Tuesday in Cordoba, Spain.
The Iberians won their first game once morest Sweden 3-2 following internal unrest and protests in the push for reforms in the association. For Switzerland, it will be a chance for revenge following the clear verdict in the World Cup round of 16, when the Spaniards clearly demonstrated their offensive potential in a 5-1 win on the way to the title.
