CERCOLA, Italy (Interstat) — Substitute Margherita Monnecchi scored in the 68th minute to give visiting Lazio Women a 1-0 victory over Napoli Women in a Serie A Women match Saturday at Stadio Giuseppe Piccolo.

The decisive play was set up by midfielder Melissa Bellucci, who assisted on Monnecchi’s late winner. The result defied a pregame projection that favored Napoli. Lazio improved to 1-0-0 in the league season, while Napoli fell to 0-1-0. Bellucci also received a yellow card in the 32nd minute of the contest.
