THE WEEKEND - During the weekend, the results were also good for the other women's teams, 16 and Under 15, both defeated by Genoa: the former with a hard-fought 2-4, the latter with a 1-3 that left no room for replies. The Under 14s fought against Fiorentina but lost by a narrow margin of 0-1. The only positive result, albeit without goals, was that of the Under 13s, who held their Viola peers to a 0-0 draw. WOMEN - The only joy of the weekend came from the women's sector. The Under 17s overwhelmed the San Marino Academy with a clear 7-2, confirming the growth of the Nerazzurri women's youth movement. Due to two postponements, they were the only team on the pitch among the Pisa women's teams, but they were able to best represent the Nerazzurri colours with a dominant performance. Michele Bufalino
