An extra-time brace from Remina Chiba secured a 3-1 win for the Women's First Team against Hammarby in Biella.
The win sees the Bianconere through to the third qualifying round of the UEFA Women's Champions League as the champions of the mini-tournament.
The Swedes got off to a flying start and, after just two minutes, Svea Rehnberg went close, only to be denied by Danielle De Jong. The visitors maintained the upper hand in the opening stages, but as the minutes ticked by, Juventus began to take greater control of possession.
In the 22nd minute, Juventus had their first attempt through Estela Carbonell, whose shot went wide. Six minutes later, however, it was Hammarby who broke the deadlock: Rehnberg was on hand in the box and scored from close range to make it 0–1.
Juventus responded, and in the 33rd minute, Alba Redondo went in search of an equaliser, only to be denied by Bella Andersson. In the 38th minute, Emma Stolen Godo tried her luck with a header. Barely a minute later, the score was 1–1: following a sustained attack in the Swedish box, Redondo was quickest to pounce on the ball and beat Andersson.

Newcastle United have completed the signing of highly-rated winger Bazoumana Touré from Hoffenheim in a deal worth a reported £43 million.
The 20-year-old Ivory Coast international arrives at St James' Park as Eddie Howe continues to strengthen his squad ahead of the new season. Toure is expected to help fill the void left by Anthony Gordon following the England international's move to Barcelona earlier this summer.
The transfer caps a remarkable rise for the young forward, who only joined Swedish club Hammarby in 2024 before earning a move to Hoffenheim a year later. After just 18 months in the Bundesliga, his impressive performances have secured a switch to the Premier League.
Toure becomes Newcastle's second signing of the summer after the arrival of goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen from Reims.

After months of speculation surrounding Bazoumana Touré's future, Newcastle United now appear to have won the race for the Hoffenheim winger, with a €50 million move to St. James' Park nearing completion.
Following a brief six-month adaptation period, Touré made his Bundesliga breakthrough last season, recording an impressive 17 direct goal contributions in 30 league matches for Christian Ilzer's side and attracting interest from several top European clubs in the process.
Florian Först, a scouting expert at German football site Kickfieber.de, has been tracking Touré since his early rise at Swedish club Hammarby and has a clear idea of what Newcastle fans can expect from the 20-year-old.
"Even during his time at Hammarby, Bazoumana Touré was regarded as one of Europe's most exciting talents. His move to Hoffenheim came as a surprise at the time, but in hindsight, the transfer proved to be exactly the right step for the young Ivorian," Först told Bulinews.com.
As Först explains, Touré's biggest strengths lie in his blistering pace and agility – a difficult combination for defenders to deal with.

If a recent report from Rangers News (as cited by The Daily Record) is believed to be true, Rangers are in direct contact with Hampus Skoglund’s representatives ahead of a potential summer move. They are also monitoring his former U21 Sweden teammate Casper Widell, and the Excelsior centre-back could also be roped in alongside the Hammarby right-back.
The 22-year-old defender, who is representing his nation at the U21 level, progressed through IK Frej and Hammarby’s academy ranks before breaking into the latter’s reserves in the third tier of Swedish football. Skoglund was soon promoted to their senior side, as he has so far appeared 80 times for Bajen across competitions.
Although both Rangers and Schalke have been keeping close tabs on the youngster for quite some time, the Glasgow giants are now accelerating talks to restore parity in the right-back role. James Tavernier decided to part ways after an illustrious career, and the club are weighing up alternatives, including Skoglund.

Besides Tavernier, Danny Rohl deployed Dujon Sterling and Max Aarons on the right-hand side of a ‘back four’ setup. Sterling impressed with his energetic runs and attacking prowess, but the gaffer could not rely on him week in, week out due to his persistent injury woes. Max Aarons, on loan from Bournemouth, failed to cement a regular spot and is now back at his parent club, as he is unlikely to return to Ibrox for one more season.
