BELLA, Italy - September 2: In a significant victory for Juventus Women, Spanish tactician Isaac Guerrero's new-look squad secured a 1-1 draw against Austrian side SKN St. Polten in Biella on September 2, 2026. This crucial win allowed the Bianconere to qualify for the Women’s Champions League (UWCL) league phase for the second consecutive season.
Portuguese midfielder Tatiana Pinto scored the only goal of the night five minutes before halftime, while the team's victory in the first leg, a 3-0 win in Austria, provided the necessary 4-1 aggregate advantage.
