In Monday’s Serie A Women’s League showdown, Jennifer Echegini, a midfielder for the Super Falcons and a key substitute for Juventus, secured a dramatic late equalizer, ensuring a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina.
Last week’s Serie A debut winner against Sassuolo, Echegini showcased her impact once more, entering the game in the 70th minute and swiftly finding the net just four minutes later.
This goal, her second in consecutive games, shows how much she’s about to take over the Bianconeri squad.
The match witnessed a seesaw of emotions as Fiorentina took an early lead with Madelen Janogy scoring in the 19th minute.
Julia Grosso leveled the score shortly after, but Janogy struck again before halftime, seemingly placing Fiorentina in control.
Juventus coach Joe Montemurro turned to Echegini for a late resurgence, and the midfielder delivered with a precise strike, reviving the team’s spirit and leveling the score.
Despite the absence of additional goals in the closing minutes, the draw maintains Juventus in second place with 34 points, trailing league leader Roma by five points.
Fiorentina remains close behind in third, just two points adrift of the Bianconeri.
Echegini and her Juventus teammates are now gearing up for a crucial encounter against Roma on Sunday, presenting a significant opportunity to narrow the gap and reignite their pursuit of the title.
