After a strong one-two pass, Cantera's cross landed at the feet of Barbara Bonansea, who coolly volleyed the ball into the net.
Will the reigning champions from England be able to come back from this? It's certainly not going to be easy against the passionately playing Italians.

La Liga move identified for 'exceptional' Liverpool striker
Liverpool are often left feel aggrieved when it comes to conducting business with La Liga clubs. There are countless examples of transfers that have been polarising and tough for the fans to accept. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas home range 🚨2025/26 LFC x adidas range🚨 LFC x adidas Shop the home range today! LFC x adidas Shop the goalkeeper range today LFC x adidas Shop the new adidas range today! Trent Alexander-Arnold's move to Real Madrid is the most recent of them all and he is widely considered to be a traitor for the way he conducted himself. Moves for Michael Owen and Steve McManaman to the same destination weren't received too well either at the time. 🔴 Shop the LFC 2025/26 adidas away range Of course, Luis Suarez and Phillipe Coutinho move to Barcelona instead and the amount of money they brought to the club as part of their transfer fees certainly helped to cushion the blow of losing them, but their departures were still painful in their own way - both at the peak of their powers. However, a beneficial La Liga move for one of Liverpool's talents may on the cards to break the cycle. Liverpool set to negotiate with La Liga again The player linked with a potential move is the young Welsh striker Lewis Koumas, who has recently been receiving opportunities in the first-team during domestic cup matches under Arne Slot. As with Jayden Danns in the academy, he's keen to start knocking on the door for regular football. However, with new signing Will Wright having joined the Reds from Salford, the pair's task is not set to get any easier, especially since Hugo Ekitike has signed for £79m and Alexander Isak is favoured. So it is to be expected that his future is going to be assessed this summer and the world is his oyster.

Why Beltran is not ready to accept Flamengo transfer
After more than a week of hesitation, Flamengo are prepared to give up on convincing Fiorentina striker Lucas Beltran to make the move. Although the Brazilians impressed at the FIFA Club World Cup and brought in the likes of Italy international Jorginho and ex-Milan full-back Emerson Royal, not everyone is enthusiastic at the idea of moving to South America. Beltran not convinced by Flamengo epa11687970 Fiorentina's foward Lucas Beltran celebrates after scoring a goal during the Italian Serie A soccer match ACF Fiorentina vs AS Roma at Artemio Franchi Stadium in Florence, Italy, 27 October 2024. EPA-EFE/CLAUDIO GIOVANNINI It has been known for at least 10 days that Flamengo made a proposal worth €15m plus add-ons to Fiorentina, which the Viola were happy to accept. There was also no secret that Beltran was not convinced by the idea of leaving Europe so soon after his transfer from River Plate in the summer of 2023, as he would see this as something of a personal defeat to return just two years into his Italian adventure. They even tried promising an improved salary, but it was not enough to sway him. Now it looks as if Flamengo have realised their pressure is just not going to pay off, as Beltran is showing no signs of opening the door to the Brazilians.

Leoni targeted by Liverpool as interest in young talent grows
Liverpool are the latest club to focus on Parma defender Giovanni Leoni, who has been given a €40m price tag amid Tottenham, Inter and Milan interest. The centre-back is only 18 years old and has just 17 Serie A appearances under his belt, scoring one goal, but already made a big impression. Considered one of the brightest young talents in Italian football, he has been linked with Inter and Milan throughout the summer. They were unprepared to pay the €40m asking price set by Parma, needing first to make sales before raising those kinds of funds for a teenager. Premier League clubs not put off by Leoni asking price FLORENCE, ITALY – APRIL 13: Giovanni Leoni of Parma in action against Moise Kean of ACF Fiorentina during the Serie A match between Fiorentina and Parma at Stadio Artemio Franchi on April 13, 2025 in Florence, Italy. (Photo by) That might not be an issue for Liverpool, who are fresh from winning the Premier League title and recognised during pre-season friendlies that their defence is in need of reinforcements. According to The Times newspaper, Leoni is one of the young centre-backs that Liverpool are keeping tabs on, along with Crystal Palace player Marc Guehi. He had already been associated with a potential swoop from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur. A product of the Padova youth academy, Leoni moved to Sampdoria in February 2024 and then was sold to Parma a few months later for €4.8m plus add-ons and a 10 per cent cut of the future transfer fee.
